# al\_fread32be(3alleg5)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_fread32be - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  int32_t al_fread32be(ALLEGRO_FILE *f)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Read a 32-bit word in big-endian format (MSB first).

On success, returns the 32-bit word. On failure, returns EOF (-1). Since -1 is also a valid return value, use al\_feof(3alleg5) to check if the end of the file was reached prematurely, or al\_ferror(3alleg5) to check if an error occurred.
