font_data_get(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to font_data_get(9) straight outta the Kernel API Manual 💅

font_data_get — acquires a reference on font data ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the exact vibe, no cap:

void font_data_get (font_data_t *fd );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fd — Font data 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, font data that comes from user space? it's reference counted, periodt. the font_data_get helper increases that reference counter by one 🔥 and when you're done with it, you invoke font_data_put to release the reference — don't forget, bestie 😭

internal font data lives in read-only memory, literally. in that case the helper returns success without modifying the counter field 🌸 but it's still required to call font_data_put on internal font data. yes, even then. no exceptions 💀
