# al\_feof(3alleg5)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_feof - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  bool al_feof(ALLEGRO_FILE *f)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Returns true if the end-of-file indicator has been set on the file, i.e. we have attempted to read *past* the end of the file.

This does *not* return true if we simply are at the end of the file. The following code correctly reads two bytes, even when the file contains exactly two bytes:

-

  ```
  int b1 = al_fgetc(f);
  int b2 = al_fgetc(f);
  if (al_feof(f)) {
     /* At least one byte was unsuccessfully read. */
     report_error();
  }
  ```
