FcAtomicReplaceOrig(3)

πŸ’… FcAtomicReplaceOrig(3) β€” the fontconfig manual, bestie

Okay so this is the FcAtomicReplaceOrig(3) page, and it's genuinely short but iconic. Let's get into it. ✨


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

FcAtomicReplaceOrig β€” replace original with new. No cap, that's the whole vibe. πŸ’–

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcBool FcAtomicReplaceOrig (FcAtomic *atomic);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So FcAtomicReplaceOrig does exactly what it says, bestie: it replaces the original file referenced by atomic with the new file. The atomic bestie is an FcAtomic *, iykyk. πŸ’…

It returns FcFalse if the file cannot be replaced because of permission issues in the filesystem. Otherwise it returns FcTrue. Periodt. 🫢

Lowkey important: that FcFalse is specifically about permission issues in the filesystem β€” not just vibes. 😭

Mwah πŸ’‹ β€” this was Fontconfig 2.17.0, dated 27 June 2025. Go slay those file replacements, bestie. πŸ§šπŸ’œ
