# FcConfigGetRescanInterval(3)

Get config rescan interval

## NAME

FcConfigGetRescanInterval - Get config rescan interval

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int FcConfigGetRescanInterval (FcConfig \****config***);**

## DESCRIPTION

Returns the interval between automatic checks of the configuration (in seconds) specified in *config*.  The configuration is checked during a call to FcFontList when this interval has passed since the last check. An interval setting of zero disables automatic checks. If *config* is NULL, the current configuration is used.
