🌸 NAME 🌸

FcNameParse — parse a pattern string, bestie 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcPattern * FcNameParse (const FcChar8 *name);

like, that's the whole vibe check. one function, one arg, one return. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So FcNameParse takes name and converts it from the standard text format — yep, the one described above, go look up, iykyk 👀 — into a pattern. that's it. that's the whole job. it's giving "small function, big main character energy" 🔥

ngl the manpage is literally one sentence, so there's nothing else to spill. no extra caveats, no hidden flags, no surprises. fr fr. 🫶

that's the whole page, bestie — go forth and parse those pattern strings 💅✨
