# al\_ustr\_get\_next(3)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_ustr\_get\_next - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  int32_t al_ustr_get_next(const ALLEGRO_USTR *us, int *pos)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Find the code point in `us` beginning at byte offset `*pos`, then advance to the next code point.

On success return the code point value. If `pos` was out of bounds (e.g. past the end of the string), return -1. On an error, such as an invalid byte sequence, return -2. As with [al\_ustr\_next(3)](/al_ustr_next/3.md), invalid byte sequences may be skipped while advancing.
