✨ NAME ✨

FcPatternGetWithBinding — return a value with binding from a pattern. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcResult FcPatternGetWithBinding (FcPattern *p, const char *object, int id, FcValue *v, FcValueBinding *b);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so here’s the tea: this function returns in v the id'th value and in b the binding for that, all associated with the property object. Iconic.

The value returned is not a copy — it literally refers to the data stored within the pattern directly. So if you’re out here thinking “cute, I’ll free this,” no bestie — applications must not free this value. Not me warning you twice, but yeah. Do not free it. 🙈

👑 SINCE 👑

version 2.12.5 💅
