al_clipboard_has_text(3alleg5)

💖 al_clipboard_has_text 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the allegro5 manual (that's the 3alleg5 corner of the internet, you're welcome) and today's main character is al_clipboard_has_text — the Allegro 5 API function that does exactly one tiny, iconic job. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_clipboard_has_text(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

like yes, that's the whole thing. no extra lore. it's giving minimalist queen. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So al_clipboard_has_text returns true if and only if the clipboard has text available. That's it, that's the vibe check. 🦋

fr fr — "if and only if" is doing a LOT of work in that sentence. It's not "usually" and it's not "sometimes". True when there's text, not true when there isn't. Periodt. 👑

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.12 — so if you're on something older than that, bestie, this function is literally not there and you're gonna have a bad time. 😭
