36@DESC@
37Add another reference to <parameter>config</parameter>. Configs are freed only
38when the reference count reaches zero.
39If <parameter>config</parameter> is NULL, the current configuration is used.
40In that case this function will be similar to FcConfigGetCurrent() except that
41it increments the reference count before returning and the user is responsible
42for destroying the configuration when not needed anymore.

49@DESC@
50Decrements the config reference count. If all references are gone, destroys
51the configuration and any data associated with it.
52Note that calling this function with the return from FcConfigGetCurrent will
53cause a new configuration to be created for use as current configuration.
