# al\_save\_sample(3alleg5)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_save\_sample - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>
  bool al_save_sample(const char *filename, ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *spl)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Writes a sample into a file. Currently, wav is the only supported format, and the extension must be “.wav”.
