FcNameGetConstant(3)

✨ FcNameGetConstant ✨

okay so this one lives in FcNameGetConstant(3) and it's a fontconfig function, and honestly it's giving "little lookup helper that just knows things" 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

const FcConstant * FcNameGetConstant (FcChar8 *string);

bestie look at that signature — it takes an FcChar8 *string and hands you back a const FcConstant *. iconic. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it actually do? It returns the FcConstant structure related to the symbolic constant string. That's the whole vibe — you give it a symbolic constant name, it gives you back the matching struct. no cap, that's it. ✨

lowkey the most important part: it returns the FcConstant structure related to the symbolic constant string, so string is what you're looking up. 🫶

and that's the page, bestie — short, sweet, and it ate 💖

this one's from Fontconfig 2.17.0, dated 27 June 2025 — go forth and look up those symbolic constants, mwah 💜
