NAME

       al_set_physfs_file_interface - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_physfs.h>

              void al_set_physfs_file_interface(void)

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  sets  both  the ALLEGRO_FILE_INTERFACE(3alleg5) and ALLEGRO_FS_INTERFACE(3alleg5) for the
       calling thread.

       Subsequent calls to al_fopen(3alleg5) on the calling thread will be handled by PHYSFS_open().  Operations
       on the files returned by al_fopen(3alleg5) will then be performed through PhysicsFS.  Calls to the  Alle‐
       gro filesystem functions, such as al_read_directory(3alleg5) or al_create_fs_entry(3alleg5), on the call‐
       ing thread will be diverted to PhysicsFS.

       To   remember   and  restore  another  file  I/O  backend,  you  can  use  al_store_state(3alleg5)/al_re‐
       store_state(3alleg5).

              Note: due to an oversight,  this  function  differs  from  al_set_new_file_interface(3alleg5)  and
              al_set_standard_file_interface(3alleg5)  which  only alter the current ALLEGRO_FILE_INTERFACE(3al‐
              leg5).

              Note: PhysFS does not support the text-mode reading and writing, which  means  that  Windows-style
              newlines will not be preserved.
