al_close_directory(3alleg5)

✨ al_close_directory — Allegro 5 API ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're closing a directory today and it's honestly giving cleanup era 💅 this one lives in the 3alleg5 manual, aka the Allegro 5 corner of the universe, and it's short, sweet, and absolutely essential. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_close_directory(ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *e)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: you've got a directory entry object that you already opened (you know, the one from al_open_directory), and now you're done with it. this function closes it. that's it. that's the whole job. closing a previously opened directory entry object. iconic, honestly. 🎀

and it reports back to you, because communication is key in any relationship:

• it returns true on success 🫶
• it returns false on failure, and in that case it fills in Allegro's errno so you can find out what went wrong 😭

so like, always check that return value, bestie. it's literally telling you how it's feeling.
