al_get_fs_entry_mode(3alleg5)

💖 NAME 💖

al_get_fs_entry_mode — the Allegro 5 API glow-up where you ask a filesystem entry what it is and what it's allowed to do 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

uint32_t al_get_fs_entry_mode(ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *e)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay bestie so you hand this function an ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY and it hands you back that entry's mode flags. and what's in those flags, you ask? two whole things, no cap:

• the entry's permissions 👑
• whether the entry is pointing at a file or at a directory 🗂️

that's it, that's the whole vibe check. it literally just tells you what kind of thing you're looking at and what it's allowed to do. iconic behaviour, honestly.
