77 Adds a single value to the list of values associated with the property named
78 `object'. If `append' is FcTrue, the value is added at the end of any
79 existing list, otherwise it is inserted at the begining. `value' is saved
80 (with FcValueSave) when inserted into the pattern so that the library
81 retains no reference to any application-supplied data structure.

227 Builds a pattern using a list of objects, types and values. Each
228 value to be entered in the pattern is specified with three arguments:
229 <orderedlist>
230 <listitem><para>
231 Object name, a string describing the property to be added.
232 </para></listitem><listitem><para>
233 Object type, one of the FcType enumerated values
234 </para></listitem><listitem><para>
235 Value, not an FcValue, but the raw type as passed to any of the
236 FcPatternAdd&lt;type&gt; functions. Must match the type of the second
237 argument.
238 </para></listitem>
239 </orderedlist>
240 <para>
241 The argument list is terminated by a null object name, no object type nor
242 value need be passed for this. The values are added to `pattern', if
243 `pattern' is null, a new pattern is created. In either case, the pattern is
244 returned. Example

247 pattern = FcPatternBuild (0, FC_FAMILY, FtTypeString, "Times", (char *) 0);

251 varargs value.
