set_config_hex(3alleg4)

✨ set_config_hex — the Allegro manual (3alleg4) ✨

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this is a page from the Allegro manual, section 3alleg4, and it's all about yeeting a hex number into your config file. short page, big slay. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

set_config_hex — writes a hexadecimal integer in the configuration file. it's part of the Allegro game programming library, so if you're out here making games, this one's for you. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

void set_config_hex(const char *section, const char *name, int val);

like. that's the whole thing. three args, void return, no drama. 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does is: it writes an integer variable to the current config file, but in hexadecimal format. not decimal, bestie — hex. 0x vibes. 🔥

and for the full tea on how the writing part actually works? it says to go read the comments about set_config_string(). that's the main character of config-writing, this one's just its hex-flavoured little sibling. 👑

ngl there's nothing else on this page. it's a short one. that's not me being lazy, that's literally the entire manual entry. 🙈
