NAME¶

al_set_exe_name - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
void al_set_exe_name(char const *path)
    

DESCRIPTION¶

This override the executable name used by al_get_standard_path(3) for ALLEGRO_EXENAME_PATH and ALLEGRO_RESOURCES_PATH.

One possibility where changing this can be useful is if you use the Python wrapper. Allegro would then by default think that the system’s Python executable is the current executable - but you can set it to the .py file being executed instead.

SINCE¶

5.0.6, 5.1.0
