FcNameGetConstantFor(3)

✨ FcNameGetConstantFor(3) ✨

okay so bestie, this one is a fontconfig manual page, section 3, and it's literally called FcNameGetConstantFor — say that three times fast, i dare you 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

FcNameGetConstantFor — lookup a symbolic constant for an object 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

first things first, you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

and here's the actual function signature, character for character, don't @ me:

const FcConstant * FcNameGetConstantFor (FcChar8 *string, char *object);

like… it returns a pointer to a const FcConstant, and it takes an FcChar8 * called string plus a char * called object. that's the whole vibe check right there ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it do? it returns the FcConstant structure that's related to the symbolic constant string — for object. that's it, that's the tea 🍓

short, sweet, and to the point — very main character energy of it, honestly 👑

ngl there's not a ton of extra lore on this page, so don't go looking for hidden options or env vars — there aren't any here, fr fr 🙈
