al_fwrite(3alleg5)

✨ al_fwrite ✨

okay so bestie, we're diving into al_fwrite from the Allegro 5 API — this is the one that writes raw bytes into a file, and honestly? it's giving main character energy for all your binary output needs 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_fwrite — Allegro 5 API, and she's here to write bytes, periodt.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

size_t al_fwrite(ALLEGRO_FILE *f, const void *ptr, size_t size)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea: al_fwrite writes size bytes from the buffer pointed to by ptr into the given file. That's it, that's the whole vibe. You hand her a file, a pointer to your data, and a byte count, and she goes to work ✨

She returns the number of bytes actually written. And if an error occurs? The return value is a short byte count (or zero). Not me being dramatic, but zero bytes written is lowkey a scream 😭
