al_get_pixel_block_size(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_pixel_block_size — bestie this is literally from the Allegro 5 API 💖

So you're out here poking at pixels in the alleg5 manual (that's the manual name, iykyk) and you found this lil cutie. Let me tell you everything, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_get_pixel_block_size(int format)

Like, that's the whole vibe. You give it a format, it gives you back an int. Simple. Iconic. Slay. 👑

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so here's the tea, bestie: this function returns the number of bytes that a block of pixels with this format occupies. That's it. That's the whole function. 🦋

You hand it a pixel format, and it tells you how many bytes one block of pixels in that format takes up. Very "what's the byte count, queen" energy. 💅

It's giving "I just need to know how much space this thing needs" and honestly? Respect. 🫶
