NAME

       al_fread - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              size_t al_fread(ALLEGRO_FILE *f, void *ptr, size_t size)

DESCRIPTION

       Read `size' bytes into the buffer pointed to by `ptr', from the given file.

       Returns  the  number  of  bytes  actually read.  If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is
       reached, the return value is a short byte count (or zero).

       al_fread() does not distinguish between EOF and other errors.   Use  al_feof(3alleg5)  and
       al_ferror(3alleg5) to determine which occurred.
