al_identify_video_f(3)                                  al_identify_video_f(3)

NAME
       al_identify_video_f - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_video.h>

              char const *al_identify_video_f(ALLEGRO_FILE *fp)


DESCRIPTION
       Tries to guess the video file type of the open ALLEGRO_FILE by reading
       the first few bytes.  By default Allegro cannot recognize any file
       types, but calling al_init_video_addon(3) will add detection of the
       types it can read.

       Returns a pointer to a static string with a file extension for the
       type, including the leading dot.  For example ".ogv".  Returns NULL if
       the video type cannot be determined.

SINCE
       5.2.8
