NAME

       al_init - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              #define al_init()    (al_install_system(ALLEGRO_VERSION_INT, atexit))

DESCRIPTION

       Like  al_install_system(3alleg5),  but  automatically  passes in the version and uses the atexit function
       visible in the current binary.

              Note: It is typically wrong to call al_init anywhere except the final game binary.  In particular,
              do  not  call it inside a shared library unless you know what you're doing.  In those cases, it is
              better to call al_install_system either with a NULL  atexit_ptr,  or  with  a  pointer  to  atexit
              provided by the user of this shared library.
