load_datafile(3) Allegro manual load_datafile(3) NAME load_datafile - Loads a datafile into memory. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS #include <allegro.h> DATAFILE *load_datafile(const char *filename); DESCRIPTION Loads a datafile into memory in one go. If the datafile has been en- crypted, you must first call packfile_password() to set the appropriate key. If the datafile contains truecolor graphics, you must set the video mode or call set_color_conversion() before loading it. Example: /* Load the resources for our game. */ DATAFILE *dat = load_datafile("game.dat"); if (!dat) abort_on_error("Couldn't load sound resources!"); /* Use resources. */ ... /* Destroy them when we don't need them any more. */ unload_datafile(dat); RETURN VALUE Returns a pointer to the DATAFILE, or NULL on error. Remember to free this DATAFILE later to avoid memory leaks.
