# exconfig(3alleg4)

Using the configuration routines. Allegro game programming library.

## NAME

exconfig - Using the configuration routines. Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<allegro.h\>**

**Example exconfig**

## DESCRIPTION

This is a very simple program showing how to use the Allegro configuration (ini file) routines. A first look at the example shows nothing more than a static graphic and the wait for a key press. However, the way this graphic is displayed is configured through a custom exconfig.ini file which is loaded manually. From this file the example obtains parameters like fullscreen/windowed mode, a specific graphic resolution to set up, which graphic to show, how to blit it on the screen, etc.
