bionic (3) al_get_system_config.3alleg5.gz

NAME

       al_get_system_config - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              ALLEGRO_CONFIG *al_get_system_config(void)

DESCRIPTION

       Returns  the  system  configuration  structure.   The returned configuration should not be destroyed with
       al_destroy_config(3alleg5).  This is mainly used  for  configuring  Allegro  and  its  addons.   You  may
       populate  this  configuration  before  Allegro is installed to control things like the logging levels and
       other features.

       Allegro will try to populate this configuration by loading a configuration  file  from  a  few  different
       locations, in this order:

       • Unix only: /etc/allegro5rc

       • Unix only: $HOME/allegro5rc

       • Unix only: $HOME/.allegro5rc

       • allegro5.cfg next to the executable

       If multiple copies are found, then they are merged using al_merge_config_into(3alleg5).

       The contents of this file are documented inside a prototypical allegro5.cfg that you can find in the root
       directory of the source distributions of Allegro.  They are also reproduced below.

       Note that Allegro will not look into that file unless you make a copy of it and place  it  next  to  your
       executable!
