NAME

       set_uformat - Set the global current text encoding format. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void set_uformat(int type);

DESCRIPTION

       Sets the current text encoding format. This will affect all parts of Allegro, wherever you see a function that returns a char *, or takes a
       char * as a parameter. `type' should be one of these values:

          U_ASCII     - fixed size, 8-bit ASCII characters
          U_ASCII_CP  - alternative 8-bit codepage (see set_ucodepage())
          U_UNICODE   - fixed size, 16-bit Unicode characters
          U_UTF8      - variable size, UTF-8 format Unicode characters

       Although you can change the text format on the fly, this is not a good idea. Many strings, for example the names of your  hardware  drivers
       and  any  language  translations, are loaded when you call allegro_init(), so if you change the encoding format after this, they will be in
       the wrong format, and things will not work properly. Generally you should only call set_uformat() once,  before  allegro_init(),  and  then
       leave it on the same setting for the duration of your program.
