✨ al_get_app_name ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the 3alleg5 corner of the Allegro reference manual 💖 this one is a lil baby function but she's iconic, i promise.

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_get_app_name — Allegro 5 API, and yes she's serving exactly one job 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

const char *al_get_app_name(void)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Returns the global application name string. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🫶

like, somewhere in the Allegro universe there's one (1) global application name string just chillin', and this function hands you a pointer to it. no cap. it's giving "i just want to know what my app is called" energy and honestly? relatable.

ngl bestie, the return type is const char * for a reason — it's a peek, not a takeover. if you wanted to change the name you're in the wrong function, see below 👀

• al_set_app_name(3alleg5) — the setter. the main character who actually changes things ✨

mwah 💋 that's the whole page, she's short but she ate. this lil legend lives in the Allegro reference manual and that's the date + version stamp on her too, so you know she's official 🌈⭐

go forth and get that app name, bestie 💜
