NAME

       al_identify_bitmap_f - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              char const *al_identify_bitmap_f(ALLEGRO_FILE *fp)

DESCRIPTION

       Tries  to  guess  the  bitmap  file type of the open ALLEGRO_FILE by reading the first few
       bytes.   By   default   Allegro   cannot   recognize   any   file   types,   but   calling
       al_init_image_addon(3alleg5)  will  add detection of (some of) the types it can read.  You
       can also use al_register_bitmap_identifier(3alleg5) to add identification for custom  file
       types.

       Returns  a  pointer  to  a static string with a file extension for the type, including the
       leading dot.  For example “.png” or “.jpg”.  Returns NULL if the  bitmap  type  cannot  be
       determined.
