.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <allegro.h>

.sp
.B int get_uformat(void);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Finds out what text encoding format is currently selected. This function
is probably useful only if you are writing an Allegro addon dealing with
text strings and you use a different codepath for each possible format.
Example:

.nf
   switch(get_uformat()) {
      case U_ASCII:
         do_something();
         break;
      case U_UTF8:
         do_something_else();
         break;
      ...
   }
.fi
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Returns the currently selected text encoding format. See the documentation
of set_uformat() for a list of encoding formats.
