al_get_errno(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_errno — Allegro 5 API 💖

So this whole page lives in the alleg5 manual, bestie, and it's literally just one little function that tells you why something went wrong. Short page, big mood. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int al_get_errno(void)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here's the tea ☕ — some Allegro functions are dramatic in a very specific way: they return an error code and they quietly set an error number on the side. Two-for-one. Iconic behaviour, honestly. 👑

So when one of those functions hands you a sad little error code and you're like "okay but WHY", you call this function right here. It gives you back the last error number that was set. 🍓

And the detail that matters: it's the last error number set for the calling thread. Not some global vibe floating around for everybody — your thread's number, periodt. 🧚 So if you've got multiple threads doing their own chaos, they each keep their own little receipts. Keep that in mind, iykyk. 💜

No parameters, no arguments, nothing to pass in — just call it and it returns an int. That's it. That's the whole function. ✨

🎀 SIGN-OFF 🎀
