.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Read `size' bytes into the buffer pointed to by `ptr', from the given
file.

Returns the number of bytes actually read.
If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached, the return value is a
short byte count (or zero).
.PP
al_fread() does not distinguish between EOF and other errors.
Use al_feof(3alleg5) and al_ferror(3alleg5) to determine which occurred.
