stringprep_4i ()

int
stringprep_4i (uint32_t *ucs4,
               size_t *len,
               size_t maxucs4len,
               Stringprep_profile_flags flags,
               const Stringprep_profile *profile);

Prepare the input UCS-4 string according to the stringprep profile, and write back the result to the input string.

The input is not required to be zero terminated (ucs4 [len ] = 0). The output will not be zero terminated unless ucs4 [len ] = 0. Instead, see stringprep_4zi() if your input is zero terminated or if you want the output to be.

Since the stringprep operation can expand the string, maxucs4len indicate how large the buffer holding the string is. This function will not read or write to code points outside that size.

The flags are one of Stringprep_profile_flags values, or 0.

The profile contain the Stringprep_profile instructions to perform. Your application can define new profiles, possibly re-using the generic stringprep tables that always will be part of the library, or use one of the currently supported profiles.

stringprep_4zi ()

int
stringprep_4zi (uint32_t *ucs4,
                size_t maxucs4len,
                Stringprep_profile_flags flags,
                const Stringprep_profile *profile);

Prepare the input zero terminated UCS-4 string according to the stringprep profile, and write back the result to the input string.

Since the stringprep operation can expand the string, maxucs4len indicate how large the buffer holding the string is. This function will not read or write to code points outside that size.

The flags are one of Stringprep_profile_flags values, or 0.

The profile contain the Stringprep_profile instructions to perform. Your application can define new profiles, possibly re-using the generic stringprep tables that always will be part of the library, or use one of the currently supported profiles.

                    Stringprep_profile_flags flags);

Prepare the input zero terminated UTF-8 string according to the stringprep profile, and return the result in a newly allocated variable.

Note that you must convert strings entered in the systems locale into UTF-8 before using this function, see stringprep_locale_to_utf8().

The output out variable must be deallocated by the caller.

The flags are one of Stringprep_profile_flags values, or 0.

The profile specifies the name of the stringprep profile to use. It must be one of the internally supported stringprep profiles.

stringprep_strerror ()

const char *
stringprep_strerror (Stringprep_rc rc);

Convert a return code integer to a text string. This string can be used to output a diagnostic message to the user.

STRINGPREP_OK: Successful operation. This value is guaranteed to always be zero, the remaining ones are only guaranteed to hold non-zero values, for logical comparison purposes. STRINGPREP_CONTAINS_UNASSIGNED: String contain unassigned Unicode code points, which is forbidden by the profile. STRINGPREP_CONTAINS_PROHIBITED: String contain code points prohibited by the profile. STRINGPREP_BIDI_BOTH_L_AND_RAL: String contain code points with conflicting bidirection category. STRINGPREP_BIDI_LEADTRAIL_NOT_RAL: Leading and trailing character in string not of proper bidirectional category. STRINGPREP_BIDI_CONTAINS_PROHIBITED: Contains prohibited code points detected by bidirectional code. STRINGPREP_TOO_SMALL_BUFFER: Buffer handed to function was too small. This usually indicate a problem in the calling application. STRINGPREP_PROFILE_ERROR: The stringprep profile was inconsistent. This usually indicate an internal error in the library. STRINGPREP_FLAG_ERROR: The supplied flag conflicted with profile. This usually indicate a problem in the calling application.

This is usually a fatal error.

stringprep_check_version ()

const char *
stringprep_check_version (const char *req_version);

Check that the version of the library is at minimum the requested one and return the version string; return NULL if the condition is not satisfied. If a NULL is passed to this function, no check is done, but the version string is simply returned.

See STRINGPREP_VERSION for a suitable req_version string.

stringprep_unichar_to_utf8 ()

int
stringprep_unichar_to_utf8 (uint32_t c,
                            char *outbuf);

Converts a single character to UTF-8.

stringprep_utf8_to_unichar ()

uint32_t
stringprep_utf8_to_unichar (const char *p);

Converts a sequence of bytes encoded as UTF-8 to a Unicode character. If p does not point to a valid UTF-8 encoded character, results are undefined.

stringprep_utf8_to_ucs4 ()

uint32_t *
stringprep_utf8_to_ucs4 (const char *str,
                         ssize_t len,
                         size_t *items_written);

Convert a string from UTF-8 to a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4. The function now performs error checking to verify that the input is valid UTF-8 (before it was documented to not do error checking).

stringprep_ucs4_to_utf8 ()

char *
stringprep_ucs4_to_utf8 (const uint32_t *str,
                         ssize_t len,

                         size_t *items_written);

Convert a string from a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4. to UTF-8. The result will be terminated with a 0 byte.

stringprep_utf8_nfkc_normalize ()

char *
stringprep_utf8_nfkc_normalize (const char *str,
                                ssize_t len);

Converts a string into canonical form, standardizing such issues as whether a character with an accent is represented as a base character and combining accent or as a single precomposed character.

The normalization mode is NFKC (ALL COMPOSE). It standardizes differences that do not affect the text content, such as the above-mentioned accent representation. It standardizes the "compatibility" characters in Unicode, such as SUPERSCRIPT THREE to the standard forms (in this case DIGIT THREE). Formatting information may be lost but for most text operations such characters should be considered the same. It returns a result with composed forms rather than a maximally decomposed form.

stringprep_ucs4_nfkc_normalize ()

uint32_t *
stringprep_ucs4_nfkc_normalize (const uint32_t *str,
                                ssize_t len);

Converts a UCS4 string into canonical form, see stringprep_utf8_nfkc_normalize() for more information.

stringprep_locale_charset ()

const char *
stringprep_locale_charset (void);

Find out current locale charset. The function respect the CHARSET environment variable, but typically uses nl_langinfo(CODESET) when it is supported. It fall back on "ASCII" if CHARSET isn't set and nl_langinfo isn't supported or return anything.

Note that this function return the application's locale's preferred charset (or thread's locale's preferred charset, if your system support thread-specific locales). It does not return what the system may be using. Thus, if you receive data from external sources you cannot in general use this function to guess what charset it is encoded in. Use stringprep_convert from the external representation into the charset returned by this function, to have data in the locale encoding.

stringprep_convert ()

char *
stringprep_convert (const char *str,
                    const char *to_codeset,
                    const char *from_codeset);

Convert the string from one character set to another using the system's iconv() function.

stringprep_locale_to_utf8 ()

char *
stringprep_locale_to_utf8 (const char *str);

Convert string encoded in the locale's character set into UTF-8 by using stringprep_convert().

stringprep_utf8_to_locale ()

char *
stringprep_utf8_to_locale (const char *str);

Convert string encoded in UTF-8 into the locale's character set by using stringprep_convert().
