✨ al_update_fs_entry — Allegro 5 API ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API corner of the universe 🦋 this one's a lil function called al_update_fs_entry and she's lowkey a queen of keeping things fresh 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_update_fs_entry(ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *e)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically, this function updates the file status information for a filesystem entry 📁✨ Like, it goes and re-checks the vibes of that entry and refreshes what it knows.

Now here's the thing: that file status info gets updated automatically when the entry is created, no cap 🫶 so you don't gotta do anything at first. BUT — and this is the moment — you can update it again with this function if you want, like if it changed since then. Main character energy: staying current 💁‍♀️

It returns true on success and false on failure 😭 and when it fails it fills in errno to tell you what went wrong. So like, the receipts are always there, iykyk.

fr fr, check errno if you get a false back — that's where the tea is ☕
