FcBlanksIsMember(3)

✨ FcBlanksIsMember(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the FcBlanksIsMember page from section 3 of the manual πŸ’… yes, that section 3 β€” the library-functions one β€” and honestly this page is short, sweet, and a little bit tragic, so let's get into it πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

FcBlanksIsMember β€” literally just "Query membership in an FcBlanks" πŸ¦‹ that's the whole vibe check: you're asking whether something is a member of an FcBlanks.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

and then the function itself, looking all innocent:

FcBool FcBlanksIsMember (FcBlanks *b, FcChar32 ucs4);

like... she looks like she does something, but she does not 😭 keep reading, i'm obsessed with how hard this plot twist goes.


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so here's the tea πŸ“ and it's giving "iconic but deprecated": FcBlanks is deprecated. periodt. that's the whole thing.

and because of that, FcBlanksIsMember always returns FALSE. always. every single time. no matter what you pass her, no matter how nicely you ask, no matter what the b is and no matter what ucs4 is πŸ”₯ she's gonna look at you and go "nope, FALSE."

⚠️ bestie please internalize this: it's deprecated, and it always returns FALSE. not sometimes, not usually β€” literally always. so don't build your whole main character energy around this function actually answering your question πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole page, she's tiny but she ate πŸ’€ tysm for reading, mwah 🫢
