al_ustr_has_prefix(3alleg5)

💖 al_ustr_has_prefix 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API corner of the Allegro reference manual — today's main character is al_ustr_has_prefix, and she's here to answer exactly one (1) question for you 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_ustr_has_prefix(const ALLEGRO_USTR *us1, const ALLEGRO_USTR *us2)

like yes she's a bool, yes she takes two const ALLEGRO_USTR * args, and no she is not complicated. lowkey iconic for that 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Returns true iff us1 begins with us2.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand her two strings, she peeks at the start of us1, and she tells you whether us2 is literally sitting right there at the front. if yes → true, if no → false, no drama, no notes ✨

fr fr though — note the "iff" (if and only if) energy. it's a clean yes-or-no, nothing in between 🫶
