FcConfigGetConfigDirs(3)

hey bestie! welcome to the FcConfigGetConfigDirs(3) page — that’s the fontconfig manual, section 3, and it’s giving “let me hand you the config directories” energy 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

FcConfigGetConfigDirs — get config directories. literally the function that gets the config directories, and yes it ate 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcStrList * FcConfigGetConfigDirs (FcConfig *config);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here’s the tea ☕: this function returns the list of font directories specified in the configuration files for config. does it include subdirectories? absolutely not — it does not include any subdirectories, not even one tiny baby one 🙈.

and if config is NULL, the current configuration is used. easy. iconic. no notes. ✨
