.SH NAME
register_bitmap_file_type \- Registers custom bitmap loading/saving functions. Allegro game programming library.\&
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <allegro.h>

.sp
.B void register_bitmap_file_type(const char *ext,
.B BITMAP *(*load)(const char *filename, RGB *pal),
.B int (*save)(const char *filename, BITMAP *bmp, const RGB *pal));
.SH DESCRIPTION
Informs the load_bitmap() and save_bitmap() functions of a new file type, 
providing routines to read and write images in this format (either 
function may be NULL). The functions you supply must follow the same
prototype as load_bitmap() and save_bitmap(). Example:

.nf
   BITMAP *load_dump(const char *filename, RGB *pal)
   {
      ...
   }
   
   int save_dump(const char *filename, BITMAP *bmp, const RGB *pal)
   {
      ...
   }
   
      register_bitmap_file_type("dump", load_dump, save_dump);
