# install\_int(3alleg)

Installs a user timer handler. Allegro game programming library.

## NAME

install\_int - Installs a user timer handler. Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int install\_int(void (\*proc)(), int speed);**

## DESCRIPTION

Installs a user timer handler, with the speed given as the number of  milliseconds between ticks. This is the same thing as  install\_int\_ex(proc, MSEC\_TO\_TIMER(speed)). If you call this routine  without having first installed the timer module, install\_timer() will be  called automatically. Calling again this routine with the same timer handler as parameter allows you to adjust its speed.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns zero on success, or a negative number if there is no room to add a new user timer.
