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.
