FcConfigParseAndLoad(3)

FcConfigParseAndLoad3

Load a configuration file

Usage

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcBool FcConfigParseAndLoad (FcConfig *config, const FcChar8 *file, FcBool complain);

Overview

Walks the configuration in 'file' and constructs the internal representation in 'config'. Any include files referenced from within 'file' will be loaded and parsed. If 'complain' is FcFalse, no warning will be displayed if 'file' does not exist. Error and warning messages will be output to stderr. Returns FcFalse if some error occurred while loading the file, either a parse error, semantic error or allocation failure. Otherwise returns FcTrue. After all configuration files / strings have been loaded, with FcConfigParseAndLoad and/or FcConfigParseAndLoadFromMemory, call FcConfigBuildFonts to build the font database.
