# FcStrCopyFilename

## Name

FcStrCopyFilename -- create a complete path from a filename

## Synopsis

    #include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

``FcChar8 * `FcStrCopyFilename``(const FcChar8 *`s`);`

## Description

`FcStrCopyFilename` constructs an absolute pathname from `s`. It converts any leading '~' characters in to the value of the HOME environment variable, and any relative paths are converted to absolute paths using the current working directory. Sequences of '/' characters are converted to a single '/', and names containing the current directory '.' or parent directory '..' are correctly reconstructed. Returns NULL if '~' is the leading character and HOME is unset or disabled (see `FcConfigEnableHome`).

## Version

Fontconfig version 2.10.95
