✨ al_add_config_comment πŸ’…

ok so bestie, we're in the Allegro 5 API today and this one is literally the cutest little function, i'm obsessed 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

al_add_config_comment β€” the Allegro 5 API function that drops a lil comment into your config, no cap ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_add_config_comment(ALLEGRO_CONFIG *config,
   const char *section, const char *comment)

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the vibe: you call this and it adds a comment in a section of a configuration. that's it. that's the whole thing. iconic behavior honestly 🌈

and like β€” if the section doesn't exist yet? it gets created. the function is doing the most so you don't have to, we love a self-sufficient queen πŸ‘‘

speaking of sections: the section can be NULL or "" if you want the global section. either one, she's flexible πŸ’…

now for the comment itself β€” it may or may not begin with a hash character. your call, no rules, we're not the police πŸš“βœ¨

⚠️ but bestie listen: any newlines in the comment string will be replaced by space characters. so don't be out here expecting your cute multi-line comment to survive, because it will NOT. it's giving flattening 😭
