✨ TTF_GetFontStyleName ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to TTF_GetFontStyleName(3) from the SDL_ttf3 FUNCTIONS lineup 💖 this one's short and sweet and honestly it's giving "little function, big glow-up".

🎀 NAME 🎀

TTF_GetFontStyleName — ask a font what its style name is, no cap 💅

📁 HEADER FILE 📁

she lives in SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h, bestie, that's the address 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"

const char * TTF_GetFontStyleName(const TTF_Font *font);

look at her. one param, one return. iconic 🌸

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

the string you get back? the font file itself decides it. like, the contents of the font file are literally dictating what this says. you don't get a vote, and honestly? slay, let the font have main character energy 👑

⚠️ okay important, listen up: the returned string points to internal storage. do NOT modify it, do NOT free it, that's not your business, that's the font's business. 🙈

and here's the tea 🍓 — that string becomes invalid, along with the rest of the font, the moment you hand font over to TTF_CloseFont(). so if you were planning to keep that pointer around after closing the font... girl. no. 😭

🦋 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🦋

  • font — the font you're querying, bestie. the one you want the style name from 💜

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

returns the font's style name. that's it. that's the whole thing ✨

🧚 THREAD SAFETY 🧚

fr fr, you can call this from any thread. go wild, no lock anxiety, we love a thread-safe queen 🫶💅

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

she's been here since SDL_ttf 3.0.0 👑 a seasoned legend, not a new girl.

mwah 💋 that's the whole page. go forth and get those style names.

— with love, your local Unix bestie 🎀🦋💖
