💅 FcStrBasename(3) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the FcStrBasename(3) manual page — yes, the whole page is about grabbing the last component of a filename, and it’s lowkey iconic. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

• FcStrBasename — last component of filename ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcChar8 * FcStrBasename (const FcChar8 *file);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So you hand it a file, and FcStrBasename gives you back the filename with any leading directory names stripped off. Like, it’s giving “just the last component, ma’am.” 💅

The catch? The returned string lives in newly allocated storage, so you gotta free it when it’s no longer needed. No leaving it hanging around like an unread group chat. 🫶
