FcConfigGetFilename(3)

NAME
FcConfigGetFilename - Find a config file

SYNOPSIS
#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcChar8 * FcConfigGetFilename (FcConfig *config, const FcChar8 *name);

DESCRIPTION

Given the specified external entity name, return the associated filename. This provides applications a way to convert various configuration file references into filename form.

A null or empty name indicates that the default configuration file should be used; which file this references can be overridden with the FONTCONFIG_FILE environment variable. Next, if the name starts with ~, it refers to a file in the current users home directory. Otherwise if the name doesn't start with '/', it refers to a file in the default configuration directory; the built-in default directory can be overridden with the FONTCONFIG_PATH environment variable.

The result of this function is affected by the FONTCONFIG_SYSROOT environment variable or equivalent functionality.
