al_fopen_interface(3alleg5)

✨ al_fopen_interface ✨

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this one lives in the Allegro 5 API manual, and it's literally the "open a file but with this specific interface, not the one you set globally" function. iykyk 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_FILE *al_fopen_interface(const ALLEGRO_FILE_INTERFACE *drv,
   const char *path, const char *mode)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: al_fopen_interface opens a file using the interface you hand it in drv — instead of the interface that was set with al_set_new_file_interface(3alleg5). 🎀

Like, you're not stuck with whatever global file interface is currently the main character. You get to pick your own ALLEGRO_FILE_INTERFACE right there in the call and it just. does that. no cap. ✨
