al_fopen(3)							   al_fopen(3)

NAME
       al_fopen - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS
	      #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

	      ALLEGRO_FILE *al_fopen(const char *path, const char *mode)

DESCRIPTION
       Creates	and  opens  a  file (real or virtual) given the path and mode.
       The current file interface is used to open the file.

       Parameters:

       · path - path to the file to open

       · mode - access mode to open the file in ("r", "w", etc.)

       Depending on the stream type and the mode string, files may  be	opened
       in  "text"  mode.   The handling of newlines is particularly important.
       For example, using the default stdio-based streams on DOS  and  Windows
       platforms,   where   the	  native  end-of-line  terminators  are	 CR+LF
       sequences, a call to al_fgetc(3) may return just one  character	('\n')
       where there were two bytes (CR+LF) in the file.	When writing out '\n',
       two bytes would be written instead.  (As an aside, '\n' is not  defined
       to be equal to LF either.)

       Newline translations can be useful for text files but is disastrous for
       binary files.  To avoid this behaviour you need to open file streams in
       binary  mode  by	 using	a  mode argument containing a "b", e.g.	 "rb",
       "wb".

       Returns a file handle on success, or NULL on error.
