# FcConfigFileInfoIterInit(3)

Initialize the iterator

## NAME

FcConfigFileInfoIterInit - Initialize the iterator

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<fontconfig/fontconfig.h\>**

**void FcConfigFileInfoIterInit (FcConfig \****config***, FcConfigFileInfoIter \****iter***);**

## DESCRIPTION

Initialize 'iter' with the first iterator in the config file information list.

The config file information list is stored in numerical order for filenames i.e. how fontconfig actually read them.

This function isn't MT-safe. **FcConfigReference** must be called before using this and then **FcConfigDestroy** when the relevant values are no longer referenced.
