✨ al_get_menu_item_caption ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>

const char *al_get_menu_item_caption(ALLEGRO_MENU *menu, int pos)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically, al_get_menu_item_caption returns the caption that's chillin' with the menu item. like, it hands u the string, no biggie 💁♀️

🫶 bestie heads up: that returned caption is only valid as long as the caption is not modified. so don't go editing it and then acting brand new when ur pointer's weird. it's giving "read it and leave it alone".

and if the item was not found? it returns NULL. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 😭
