al_identify_video - Allegro 5 API

#include <allegro5/allegro_video.h>
char const *al_identify_video(char const *filename)

This works exactly as al_identify_video_f(3) but you specify the filename of the file for which to detect the type and not a file handle. The extension, if any, of the passed filename is not taken into account - only the file contents.
