💖 al_get_fs_entry_size — Allegro 5 API 🎀

okay bestie, so this one lives in the allegro5 manual (that's the Allegro 5 reference, the whole girlboss library situation) and it's genuinely so simple you're gonna scream. it's giving "one job, does the one job." periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_fs_entry_size — Allegro 5 API

like. the name literally tells you everything. get. fs. entry. size. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

off_t al_get_fs_entry_size(ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *e)

okay so you gotta pull in allegro5/allegro.h first, obviously, and then you call it with one single ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY * pointer named e and it hands you back an off_t. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Returns the size, in bytes, of the given entry.

that's the tea. you pass it your entry, it tells you how many bytes that thing is. big fan. 💅

⚠️ but listen — it may not return anything sensible for a directory entry. like, a directory is a directory, bestie, not a file with a cute little byte count. so if you point this at a folder, don't come crying to me when the number is weird. it's not broken, that's just how it is. the entry is giving chaos and you were warned. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
