DESCRIPTION
       fc-pattern parses pattern (empty pattern by default) and  shows  the  parsed  result.   If
       --config is given, config substitution is performed on the pattern before being displayed.
       If --default is given, default substitution is performed on the pattern before being  dis‐
       played.

       If any elements are specified, only those are printed.
