NAME

6       al_init - Allegro 5 API
7

SYNOPSIS

9              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
10
11              #define al_init()    (al_install_system(ALLEGRO_VERSION_INT, atexit))
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Like  al_install_system(3), but automatically passes in the version and
15       uses the atexit function visible in the current binary.
16
17              Note: It is typically wrong to call al_init anywhere except  the
18              final  game  binary.   In  particular,  do  not call it inside a
19              shared library unless you know  what  you're  doing.   In  those
20              cases, it is better to call al_install_system either with a NULL
21              atexit_ptr, or with a pointer to atexit provided by the user  of
22              this shared library.
