NAME

       al_load_bitmap_f - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              ALLEGRO_BITMAP *al_load_bitmap_f(ALLEGRO_FILE *fp, const char *ident)

DESCRIPTION

       Loads  an  image  from an ALLEGRO_FILE(3alleg5) stream into a new ALLEGRO_BITMAP(3alleg5).
       The file type is determined by  the  passed  'ident'  parameter,  which  is  a  file  name
       extension  including  the leading dot.  If (and only if) 'ident' is NULL, the file type is
       determined with al_identify_bitmap_f(3alleg5) instead.

       This is  the  same  as  calling  al_load_bitmap_flags_f(3alleg5)  with  0  for  the  flags
       parameter.

       Returns NULL on error.  The file remains open afterwards.

              Note:  the core Allegro library does not support any image file formats by default.
              You must use the allegro_image addon, or register your own format handler.
