XMFONTLISTINITFONTCONTEXT(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XmFontListInitFontContext — a font list function that lets your app peek inside a font list's entries 👀💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Boolean XmFontListInitFontContext(
XmFontContext *context,
XmFontList fontlist);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie so XmFontListInitFontContext sets up a context that lets your application get at the contents of a font list. think of it like handing your app a little key 🗝️ so it can go through the font list entry by entry.

You use this context when you're reading the font list entry tag, font, or font set that's attached to each entry in the font list. It returns a Boolean status so you know whether or not the font list is actually valid — a little vibe check, if you will. 💅

🚨 important, no cap: if your application deallocates the font list you passed in as the fontlist argument, then the context this function established becomes no longer valid. Like, gone. Rendered useless. So don't do that unless you meant to. 😭

The arguments, queen:

• context — specifies a pointer to the allocated context ✨
• fontlist — specifies the font list 💖

🎀 RETURN 🎀

Returns True if the context was allocated; otherwise, returns False. And if the function did allocate a context, guess what — your application is responsible for managing that allocated space. Yes, you. 👑 You can recover the allocated space by calling XmFontListFreeFontContext. slay, cleanup era. 🧚

and that's the whole page, bestie — straight from the XmFontListInitFontContext(library call) manual, which is the source and version this lil rewrite came from (the original footer just repeats that same title, no date attached, iconic minimalism 💀). now go free that context. periodt. 💅✨
