# al\_get\_num\_display\_modes(3alleg5)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_get\_num\_display\_modes - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  int al_get_num_display_modes(void)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Get the number of available fullscreen display modes for the current set of display parameters. This will use the values set with al\_set\_new\_display\_refresh\_rate(3alleg5), and al\_set\_new\_display\_flags(3alleg5) to find the number of modes that match. Settings the new display parameters to zero will give a list of all modes for the default driver.
