FcCacheCopySet(3)

💅 FcCacheCopySet(3) — the fontconfig girlypop page

okay so real talk, this is FcCacheCopySet(3), section 3 of the manual, and she is iconic. let's get into it bestie 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

FcCacheCopySet — Returns a copy of the fontset from cache 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcFontSet * FcCacheCopySet (const FcCache *cache);

like, that's the whole vibe check right there. one include, one function, no cap ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕: the fontset you get back contains each of the font patterns from cache. every single one, no crumbs left behind 💅

and like, good news — this fontset is yours to modify. go off, edit it, do whatever, main character energy 👑

BUT 🚨 the patterns that came from the cache? those are read-only. do not touch. seriously. they're giving "look but don't touch" and we respect that boundary fr fr 🙈

bestie pls remember: the fontset is copyable and modifiable, but the patterns from the cache are read-only. do not come for them. they will not survive it and neither will you 😭
