al_identify_bitmap_f(3)     Library Functions Manual	 al_identify_bitmap_f(3)

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(3) will add detection of (some of) the types it
     can read.	You can also use al_register_bitmap_identifier(3) to add identi-
     fication 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.

SINCE
     5.1.12
