al_get_audio_stream_fragments(3alleg5)

✨ al_get_audio_stream_fragments ✨

okay so bestie, this one is from the Allegro 5 API — specifically the 3alleg5 manual, aka the Allegro reference manual. it's a lil baby function, like three lines of lore, but it's OUR lil baby function. let's go 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

unsigned int al_get_audio_stream_fragments(const ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream)

look at her. unsigned int in, const ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM * as the arg. she doesn't change your stream, she just looks at it. respectful king 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so you hand her a stream and she tells you the number of fragments this stream uses. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap.

and here's the cute part — that number is literally the same value you passed to al_create_audio_stream(3alleg5) back when you made the stream in the first place. so it's not doing any new math, it's just remembering for you. she's giving reliable bestie energy. she was there at the creation, she kept the receipt, and now she's handing it back to you whenever you ask. iconic behavior, honestly 😭✨

if you're sitting there like "bestie I could've just stored that myself" — yeah. you could've. but you didn't. and now she's got it for you. slay.

and that's the whole page, fr fr. written up in the Allegro reference manual, tagged 3alleg5 — no date on this one, she's timeless like that 💜 stay hydrated, read your headers, and go check on your audio stream. bye babes 🌈💖
