NAME

       al_ref_cstr - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              const ALLEGRO_USTR *al_ref_cstr(ALLEGRO_USTR_INFO *info, const char *s)

DESCRIPTION

       Create  a string that references the storage of a C-style string.  The information about the string (e.g.
       its size) is stored in the structure pointed to by the info parameter.  The  string  will  not  have  any
       other  storage  allocated of its own, so if you allocate the info structure on the stack then no explicit
       "free" operation is required.

       The string is valid until the underlying C string disappears.

       Example:

              ALLEGRO_USTR_INFO info;
              ALLEGRO_USTR *us = al_ref_cstr(&info, "my string");
