al_identify_video(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_identify_video — Allegro 5 API 💖 (and yes bestie, this is the 3alleg5 manual, we’re folding that header energy in right here)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro_video.h>

char const *al_identify_video(char const *filename)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function works exactly as al_identify_video_f(3alleg5), no cap — same behavior, same vibe — but instead of a file handle, you give it the filename of the file whose type you want to detect. just the name, bestie. 💅

And the extension? if there is one? not taken into account. at all. only the file contents are doing the talking here, periodt. ✨
