al_fread(3)                                                        al_fread(3)

NAME
       al_fread - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              size_t al_fread(ALLEGRO_FILE *f, void *ptr, size_t size)

DESCRIPTION
       Read 'size' bytes into the buffer pointed to by 'ptr', from the given
       file.

       Returns the number of bytes actually read.  If an error occurs, or the
       end-of-file is reached, the return value is a short byte count (or
       zero).

       al_fread() does not distinguish between EOF and other errors.  Use
       al_feof(3) and al_ferror(3) to determine which occurred.
