NAME

       al_register_bitmap_identifier - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              bool al_register_bitmap_identifier(const char *extension,
                 bool (*identifier)(ALLEGRO_FILE *f))

DESCRIPTION

       Register  an identify handler for al_identify_bitmap(3alleg5).  The given function will be used to detect
       files for the given extension.  It will be called with a single argument  of  type  ALLEGRO_FILE(3alleg5)
       which  is a file handle opened for reading and located at the first byte of the file.  The handler should
       try to read as few bytes as possible to safely determine if the given file  contents  correspond  to  the
       type  with  the  extension  and  return  true in that case, false otherwise.  The file handle must not be
       closed but there is no need to reset it to the beginning.

       The extension should include the leading dot ('.') character.  It will be matched case-insensitively.

       The identifier argument may be NULL to unregister an entry.

       Returns true on success, false on error.  Returns false if unregistering an entry that doesn't exist.
