al_get_display_event_source(3alleg5)

💖 al_get_display_event_source — Allegro 5 API ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the alleg5 manual, the part where we go get an event source off a display 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_get_display_event_source — it's the Allegro 5 API, and this one function is your little key to unlocking a display's event stream 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_EVENT_SOURCE *al_get_display_event_source(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

no cap, that's the whole signature, and yes you pass in your ALLEGRO_DISPLAY * and you get an ALLEGRO_EVENT_SOURCE * right back 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically: you hand it a display, and it retrieves the associated event source for you. That's the vibe. That's the whole job 🎀

And if you're sitting there like "okay but what events even come out of a display??" — the answer lives in the docs on events, specifically ALLEGRO_EVENT_DISPLAY_EXPOSE(3alleg5), which has the full list of the events that displays will generate. go read it, it's giving informative 👑

lowkey important: the source you get back is associated with the display you passed in — it's that display's event source, not a brand new one you invented 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓

signing off with the official receipts: this was the Allegro reference manual, for Allegro 5 (the alleg5 manual, section 3), and the page header/footer tag along as al_get_display_event_source(3alleg5) on both ends. 💜✨
