al_set_org_name(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_set_org_name — okay bestie, this is the Allegro 5 API function that lets you set your app's global organization name 💖 (it's from the 3alleg5 manual, the Allegro reference manual, iykyk)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_org_name(const char *org_name)

Like, that's the whole signature. One string in, no return value, no drama 🦋

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically, al_set_org_name sets the global organization name. That's it. That's the function. And honestly? Iconic for it. 👑

Why do you even care, you ask? Because the organization name is used by al_get_standard_path(3alleg5) to build the full path to an application's files. So if you want your app's files landing in a folder that actually has your org's name on it, this is the girl you call. Periodt. 💅

And here's the tea that makes it extra convenient: this function may be called before al_init(3alleg5) or al_install_system(3alleg5). So you can set your org name super duper early, before any of the big initialization stuff even happens. No waiting around. Main character energy from line one. ✨

Real talk though: set it before you go building paths with al_get_standard_path(3alleg5), because that's the function actually reading it. 🫶

And that's the whole page, bestie! 💜 This was al_set_org_name(3alleg5) from the Allegro reference manual, manual section 3alleg5. Go forth and name your organization, you absolute queen. 🌈👑💖
