cPanel API 2 Functions - Branding::cssmerge

Warning:

The cPanel API 2 system is deprecated. We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2.

Description

This function updates a branding package's CSS file.

Note:

cPanel API 2's Branding module only modifies data for the x3 theme. We removed the x3 theme. For more information, read our cPanel Deprecation Plan documentation.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2. However, no equivalent UAPI function exists.
