al_ref_cstr(3)                                                  al_ref_cstr(3)

NAME
       al_ref_cstr - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              const ALLEGRO_USTR *al_ref_cstr(ALLEGRO_USTR_INFO *info, const char *s)


DESCRIPTION
       Create a string that references the storage of a C-style string.  The
       information about the string (e.g. its size) is stored in the structure
       pointed to by the info parameter.  The string will not have any other
       storage allocated of its own, so if you allocate the info structure on
       the stack then no explicit "free" operation is required.

       The string is valid until the underlying C string disappears.

       Example:


              ALLEGRO_USTR_INFO info;
              ALLEGRO_USTR *us = al_ref_cstr(&info, "my string");
