FcConfigGetRescanInterval(3)

💅 FcConfigGetRescanInterval(3) — the fontconfig girly tells u how often she checks herself

ok so real talk, bestie — this one's a manual page from fontconfig, section 3, and it's lowkey one of the chillest little functions ever. No cap, it just tells u how often fontconfig wakes up and re-checks its config. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

FcConfigGetRescanInterval — get the config rescan interval, bestie. literally just that. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the whole thing u need to include:

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

int FcConfigGetRescanInterval (FcConfig *config);

yes ma'am, that's the entire synopsis. iconic. ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's what she does 👑

FcConfigGetRescanInterval returns the interval between automatic checks of the configuration — and that interval is in seconds — for the config u hand her in config. 🕐

now the tea: the configuration actually gets checked during a call to FcFontList, but only when this interval has passed since the last check. so like, she's not out here checking constantly, she waits her turn. patient queen behaviour fr fr. 💅

and listen — an interval setting of zero disables automatic checks. zero means no, she's off duty, don't @ her. 💀

plus, plot twist: if config is NULL, the current configuration is used. so if u got nothing to pass her, she'll just vibe with whatever's current. 🫶
