SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              ALLEGRO_BITMAP *al_load_bitmap(const char *filename)

DESCRIPTION

       Loads  an  image file into an ALLEGRO_BITMAP(3alleg5).  The file type is determined by the
       extension.

       Returns NULL on error.

              Note: the core Allegro library does not support any image file formats by  default.
              You must use the allegro_image addon, or register your own format handler.
