oracular (3) get_uformat.3alleg4.gz

NAME

       get_uformat  -  Finds  out  what  text  encoding  format  is currently selected. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int get_uformat(void);

DESCRIPTION

       Finds out what text encoding format is currently selected. This function is probably useful only  if  you
       are writing an Allegro addon dealing with text strings and you use a different codepath for each possible
       format.  Example:

          switch(get_uformat()) {
             case U_ASCII:
                do_something();
                break;
             case U_UTF8:
                do_something_else();
                break;
             ...
          }

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the currently selected text encoding format. See the documentation of set_uformat() for a list of
       encoding formats.
