al_run_main(3) al_run_main(3) NAME al_run_main - Allegro 5 API SYNOPSIS #include int al_run_main(int argc, char **argv, int (*user_main)(int, char **)) DESCRIPTION This function is useful in cases where you don't have a main() function but want to run Allegro (mostly useful in a wrapper library). Under Windows and Linux this is no problem because you simply can call al_install_system(3). But some other system (like OSX) don't allow calling al_install_system(3) in the main thread. al_run_main will know what to do in that case. The passed argc and argv will simply be passed on to user_main and the return value of user_main will be returned. Allegro reference manual al_run_main(3)
