FcPatternIterStart(3)

💖 FcPatternIterStart(3) — the fontconfig manual, bestie ✨

okay so welcome to the fontconfig manual page for FcPatternIterStart, and it's literally about starting an iterator at the very first iterator in a pattern. no cap, that's the whole assignment 💅

✨ NAME ✨

FcPatternIterStart — initialize the iterator with the first iterator in the pattern 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

void FcPatternIterStart (const FcPattern *p, FcPatternIter *iter);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay bestie, here's the vibe: this function initializes iter with the first iterator in p. that's it, that's the slay ✨

⚠️ but listen: if there are no objects in p, iter will not have any valid data. so don't go treating it like it's got main character energy when it literally doesn't. fr fr 😭

👑 SINCE 👑

version 2.13.1 — yes queen, this has been around since then 🫶
