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 displayed.

       If any elements are specified, only those are printed.
