* A pointer to the source target.

* func_interface ::
* A table of 'emitters', i.e., function pointers called during
* decomposition to indicate path operations.
*
* @inout:
* user ::
* A typeless pointer that is passed to each emitter during the
* decomposition. It can be used to store the state during the
* decomposition.
*
* @return:
* FreeType error code. 0~means success.
*
* @note:
* A contour that contains a single point only is represented by a 'move
* to' operation followed by 'line to' to the same point. In most cases,
* it is best to filter this out before using the outline for stroking
* purposes (otherwise it would result in a visible dot when round caps
* are used).
*
* Similarly, the function returns success for an empty outline also
* (doing nothing, this is, not calling any emitter); if necessary, you
* should filter this out, too.
