NAME

       allegro_init - Macro to initialise the Allegro library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int allegro_init();

DESCRIPTION

       Macro which initialises the Allegro library. This is the same thing as calling install_allegro(SYSTEM_AUTODETECT, &errno, atexit).

SEE ALSO

       install_allegro(3alleg4), allegro_exit(3alleg4)

NAME

       install_allegro - Initialise the Allegro library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int install_allegro(int system_id, int *errno_ptr, int (*atexit_ptr)());

DESCRIPTION

       Initialises  the  Allegro library. You must call either this or allegro_init() before doing anything other than using the Unicode routines.
       If you want to use a text mode other than UTF-8, you can set it with set_uformat() before you call this. The other functions  that  can	be
       called before this one will be marked explicitly in the documentation, like set_config_file().

       The  available  system ID codes will vary from one platform to another, but you will almost always want to pass SYSTEM_AUTODETECT. Alterna-
       tively, SYSTEM_NONE installs a stripped down version of Allegro that won't even try to touch your hardware or  do  anything  platform  spe-
       cific: this can be useful for situations where you only want to manipulate memory bitmaps, such as the text mode datafile tools or the Win-
       dows GDI interfacing functions.

       The `errno_ptr' and `atexit_ptr' parameters should point to the errno variable and atexit function  from  your  libc:  these  are  required
       because	when Allegro is linked as a DLL, it doesn't have direct access to your local libc data. `atexit_ptr' may be NULL, in which case it
       is your responsibility to call allegro_exit() manually. Example:

	  install_allegro(SYSTEM_AUTODETECT, &errno, atexit);

RETURN VALUE

       This function returns zero on success and non-zero on failure (e.g. no system driver could be used). Note: in previous versions of  Allegro
       this function would abort on error.
