ALLEGRO_FILECHOOSER(3alleg5)

✨ ALLEGRO_FILECHOOSER ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API corner of the manual 💖 this one's from the allegro5 manual set, and it's short but lowkey important, so let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ALLEGRO_FILECHOOSER — bestie, that's the Allegro 5 API doing its thing 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the vibe, copy it exactly, no cap:

#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_FILECHOOSER ALLEGRO_FILECHOOSER;

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so like, ALLEGRO_FILECHOOSER is an opaque handle to a native file dialog 👑

opaque means you don't get to peek inside it, bestie, it's giving mystery, it's giving main character energy, you just hold the handle and let Allegro do the rest 🫶

and "native" means it's the file dialog your actual operating system ships with — not some homemade one, the real deal, periodt ✨

---

that's literally the whole page, short and slay 💀
