al_remove_filename(3alleg5)

✨ al_remove_filename ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API manual page for al_remove_filename 💅 this one is short, sweet, and honestly kinda iconic — let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_remove_filename(const char *path)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like… this function deletes the path you give it from the filesystem. That path can be a file or an empty directory, either one, no cap 💖

It's literally the same thing as al_remove_fs_entry(3alleg5), except this version wants the path handed to it as a string instead. Same energy, different delivery 🎀

It returns true when it works out and false when it doesn't 😭 and when it doesn't, Allegro's errno gets filled in so you can actually find out what went wrong. Periodt.

lowkey important: that directory has to be empty for this to work on it. just saying 👀
