SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
const ALLEGRO_USTR *al_ref_cstr(ALLEGRO_USTR_INFO *info, const char *s)
DESCRIPTION
Create a string that references the storage of a C-style string. The
information about the string (e.g. its size) is stored in the struc‐
ture pointed to by the info parameter. The string will not have any
other storage allocated of its own, so if you allocate the info struc‐
ture on the stack then no explicit "free" operation is required.
The string is valid until the underlying C string disappears.
Example:
ALLEGRO_USTR_INFO info;
ALLEGRO_USTR *us = al_ref_cstr(&info, "my string");
