SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       extern char allegro_error[ALLEGRO_ERROR_SIZE];

DESCRIPTION
       Text  string  used  by  set_gfx_mode(), install_sound() and other functions to report error messages. If they fail and you want to tell the
       user why, this is the place to look for a description of the problem. Example:

	  void abort_on_error(const char *message)
	  {
	     if (screen != NULL)
		set_gfx_mode(GFX_TEXT, 0, 0, 0, 0);

	     allegro_message("%s.
Last Allegro error `%s'
",
			     message, allegro_error);
	     exit(-1);
	  }
	  ...
	     if (some_allegro_function() == ERROR_CODE)
		abort_on_error("Error calling some function!");
