al_ref_info(3alleg5)

✨ al_ref_info ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API corner of the Allegro reference manual 💖 this one is short and sweet, so let's go 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

const ALLEGRO_USTR *al_ref_info(const ALLEGRO_USTR_INFO *info)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what this does is: it makes you a read-only string that just references the storage of another ALLEGRO_USTR(3alleg5) string — specifically one you already stashed inside an ALLEGRO_USTR_INFO(3alleg5) structure. no copying, no new memory, just vibes and a pointer ✨

bestie. listen. this string is only valid until the underlying string gets modified or destroyed 😭 so like, don't be out here holding onto it forever. it's giving "borrowed", not "yours". once the real one changes or goes poof, your reference is done. periodt.
