NAME

6       al_identify_bitmap_f - Allegro 5 API
7

SYNOPSIS

9              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
10
11              char const *al_identify_bitmap_f(ALLEGRO_FILE *fp)
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Tries to guess the bitmap file type of the open ALLEGRO_FILE by reading
15       the first few bytes.  By default  Allegro  cannot  recognize  any  file
16       types,  but  calling al_init_image_addon(3) will add detection of (some
17       of) the types it can read.  You can also use al_register_bitmap_identi‐
18       fier(3) to add identification for custom file types.
19
20       Returns  a  pointer  to  a  static string with a file extension for the
21       type, including  the  leading  dot.   For  example  ".png"  or  ".jpg".
22       Returns NULL if the bitmap type cannot be determined.
