NAME

       usetat - Replaces a character in a string. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int usetat(char *s, int index, int c);

DESCRIPTION

       Replaces  the character at the specified index in the string with value `c', handling any adjustments for
       variable width data (ie. if `c' encodes to a different width than the previous value at  that  location).
       If `index' is negative, it counts backward from the end of the string. Example:

          usetat(text_string, 2, letter_a);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  the number of bytes by which the trailing part of the string was moved. This is of interest only
       with text encoding formats where characters have a variable length, like UTF-8.
