FcConfigGetCache(3)

✨ FcConfigGetCache(3) ✨ — the manual page, bestie edition 💅

okay so real talk, this one's a little deprecated icon 💀 — it's FcConfigGetCache(3), living its best life in the fontconfig cinematic universe 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

FcConfigGetCache — DEPRECATED, used to return the per-user cache filename 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcChar8 * FcConfigGetCache (FcConfig *config);

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Soooo here's the vibe check: fontconfig is no longer using per-user cache files 😭 so this function now simply returns NULL to indicate that no per-user file exists. That's it, that's the whole serve 💅

lowkey important: the NULL return is the entire point here — it's telling you “bestie, there is no per-user file” 🫠
