# FcConfigFilename

## Name

FcConfigFilename -- Find a config file

## Synopsis

    #include <fontconfig.h>

``char * FcConfigFilename`(const char *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 FC_CONFIG_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 FC_CONFIG_DIR environment variable.

## Version

Fontconfig version 2.4.2
