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!
