SYNOPSIS

10       #include <allegro.h>
11

13       int set_allegro_resource_path(int priority, const char *path);

DESCRIPTION

16       Sometimes Allegro doesn't look in enough places to find a resource. For
17       those  special  cases,  you  can call this function before loading your
18       resource with additional paths to search for. You set  up  the  priori‐
19       ties, higher numbers are searched for first. To modify an already setup
20       path, call this function with the same priority and the  new  path.  To
21       remove  an  already setup path, call this function with the priority of
22       the path and NULL as the path parameter. Example:
23
24          set_allegro_resource_path(10, "my_game/configs");
25          set_allegro_resource_path(0, "users/configs/");
26          set_allegro_resource_path(-45, "temp");
27
28       These custom paths will be valid until you call allegro_exit(). You can
29       call this function before install_allegro(), but after set_uformat() if
30       you want to use a text encoding format other than the default.
31

RETURN VALUE

33       Returns non-zero on success, zero if the path could not be added or you
34       wanted  to  remove a path and the priority used didn't have any associ‐
35       ated path. Modification of existing paths always succeeds.
