al_load_bitmap - Man Page
Allegro 5 API
Synopsis
#include <allegro5/allegro.h> ALLEGRO_BITMAP *al_load_bitmap(const char *filename)
Description
Loads an image file into a new ALLEGRO_BITMAP(3). The file type is determined by the extension, except if the file has no extension in which case al_identify_bitmap(3) is used instead.
Returns NULL on error.
This is the same as calling al_load_bitmap_flags(3) with a flags parameter of 0.
Note: the core Allegro library does not support any image file formats by default. You must use the allegro_image addon, or register your own format handler.
