β¨ al_destroy_fs_entry β Allegro 5 API π
okay bestie, welcome to al_destroy_fs_entry(3alleg5) β yes that's the manual name, yes it's giving very 3alleg5, and yes we're gonna get through this together π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
void al_destroy_fs_entry(ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *fh)
π DESCRIPTION π
So basically: this one destroys a fs entry handle. That's it. That's the whole job. β¨
But bestie, listen, this is the important part β the file or directory represented by it is NOT destroyed. Like, the handle is gone, the actual thing on your disk is still chilling there, untouched, unbothered, main character energy. Don't come for me later being like "where did my files go" π this function does not delete anything, periodt.
If the entry was opened, it gets closed before being destroyed. So it tidies up after itself, lowkey iconic of it. π
And if you pass NULL? It does nothing. No crash, no drama, no screaming into the void. It's just like "okay, cool, nothing to do here" πβ¨ fr fr.
β οΈ Heads up bestie: destroying the handle β destroying the entry. Keep that straight and you're golden. π
π that's the whole page, we ate and left no crumbs π
