FcConfigGetFilename - Find a config file
Contents
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.
