💅 FcNameUnparse(3): the pattern-to-string glow-up 💅

Okay so this is the FcNameUnparse(3) manual page, and she is literally here to turn your pattern back into text bestie — group-chat recap energy, but make it fontconfig ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

• FcNameUnparse — Convert a pattern back into a string that can be parsed. No cap, that's the whole assignment 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcChar8 * FcNameUnparse (FcPattern *pat);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So FcNameUnparse converts the given pattern into the standard text format described above — yes, that one, iykyk 😌✨

Heads up though: the return value is not static. Instead, it refers to newly allocated memory, and it should be freed by the caller using free(). Do not ghost that cleanup, bestie 😭💀
