18 tickit_pen_new() creates a new TickitPen instance. It initially has no
19 attributes set.
20
21 tickit_pen_new_attrs() creates a new TickitPen instance and populates
22 it with a given list of attribute values. The attributes are given as
23 pairs; first a TickitPenAttr then an integer giving its value, termi‐
24 nated by a final 0 or -1.
25
26 Two additional attribute types are recognised here, TICKIT_PEN_FG_DESC
27 and TICKIT_PEN_BG_DESC. These will expect to receive a string argument
28 value, which will be parsed as for tickit_pen_set_colour_attr_desc(3).
29
30 tickit_pen_clone() creates a new TickitPen instance. It initially has
31 the same attributes values set as the one given by orig.
32
33 The reference count of a newly-constructed pen instance will be one.
34 This can be incremented or decremented using tickit_pen_ref(3) and
35 tickit_pen_unref(3). When its reference count reaches zero it is de‐
36 stroyed.
37
39 If successful, tickit_pen_new(), tickit_pen_new_attrs() and
40 tickit_pen_clone() return a pointer to the new instance. On failure,
41 NULL is returned with errno set to indicate the failure.
