NAME

       al_get_ram_size - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              int al_get_ram_size(void)

DESCRIPTION

       Returns  the  size  in MB of the random access memory that the system Allegro is running on has and which
       could be detected, or a negative number if detection failed.  Even if a positive number is  returned,  it
       might  be  that  it  is  not  correct.  For example, Allegro running on a virtual machine will return the
       amount of RAM of the VM, and not that of the underlying system.

       Furthermore even if the number is correct, this only gives you information about the total physical memo‐
       ry of the system Allegro runs on.  The memory available to your program may be less  or  more  than  what
       this  function returns due to circumstances such as virtual memory, and other programs that are currently
       running.

       Therefore, it’s best to use this for advisory purposes only.  It is certainly a bad  idea  to  make  your
       program exclusive to systems for which this function returns a certain “desirable” number.

       This function may be called prior to al_install_system(3alleg5) or al_init(3alleg5).
