Here's what the Allegro documentation says. If you need more details please
refer to the documentation and the Allegro examples which you probably
installed on your pc.

void blit(BITMAP *source, BITMAP *dest, int source_x, int source_y, int
dest_x, int dest_y, int width, int height);

Copies a rectangular area of the source bitmap to the destination bitmap.
The source_x and source_y parameters are the top left corner of the area to
copy from the
source bitmap, and dest_x and dest_y are the corresponding position in the
destination bitmap.

void textout(BITMAP *bmp, FONT *f, unsigned char *s, int x, y, int color);

Writes the string s onto the bitmap at position x, y, using the current text
mode and the specified font and foreground color. If the color is -1 and a
proportional font
is in use, it will be drawn using the colors from the original font bitmap
(the one you imported into the grabber program), which allows multicolored
text output.
