al_ferror(3alleg5)

✨ al_ferror ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API docs — this one's al_ferror, and it lives in the 3alleg5 manual section 💖 she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "did something go wrong or not" energy and honestly? iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_ferror(ALLEGRO_FILE *f)

like, that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, one file pointer. periodt. 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically al_ferror looks at the file you hand it and is like "bestie… did something bad happen to you before?" 😭

It returns non-zero if the error indicator is set on the given file — meaning there was, at some point, some sort of previous error. That's it. That's the whole job. She's a vibe check for your file's trauma. 🩹

and the actual error code itself? yeah, that part is system or file interface specific, so don't come for her asking for a universal answer — it depends on where you are and what you're working with. iykyk. 🌈

ngl, this one is genuinely useful — if you're out here wondering why your file is acting brand new, al_ferror is the friend who tells you the truth. 🫶
