59 * SECTION:string_utils
60 * @title: String Utility Functions
61 * @short_description: various string-related functions
63 * This section describes a number of utility functions for creating,
64 * duplicating, and manipulating strings.
66 * Note that the functions g_printf(), g_fprintf(), g_sprintf(),
67 * g_vprintf(), g_vfprintf(), g_vsprintf() and g_vasprintf()
68 * are declared in the header `gprintf.h` which is not included in `glib.h`
69 * (otherwise using `glib.h` would drag in `stdio.h`), so you'll have to
70 * explicitly include `<glib/gprintf.h>` in order to use the GLib
71 * printf() functions.
73 * ## String precision pitfalls # {#string-precision}
75 * While you may use the printf() functions to format UTF-8 strings,
76 * notice that the precision of a \%Ns parameter is interpreted
77 * as the number of bytes, not characters to print. On top of that,
78 * the GNU libc implementation of the printf() functions has the
79 * "feature" that it checks that the string given for the \%Ns
80 * parameter consists of a whole number of characters in the current
81 * encoding. So, unless you are sure you are always going to be in an
82 * UTF-8 locale or your know your text is restricted to ASCII, avoid
83 * using \%Ns. If your intention is to format strings for a
84 * certain number of columns, then \%Ns is not a correct solution
85 * anyway, since it fails to take wide characters (see g_unichar_iswide())
86 * into account.
88 * Note also that there are various printf() parameters which are platform
89 * dependent. GLib provides platform independent macros for these parameters
90 * which should be used instead. A common example is %G_GUINT64_FORMAT, which
91 * should be used instead of `%llu` or similar parameters for formatting
92 * 64-bit integers. These macros are all named `G_*_FORMAT`; see
93 * [Basic Types][glib-Basic-Types].

97 * g_ascii_isalnum:
98 * @c: any character
100 * Determines whether a character is alphanumeric.
102 * Unlike the standard C library isalnum() function, this only
103 * recognizes standard ASCII letters and ignores the locale,
104 * returning %FALSE for all non-ASCII characters. Also, unlike
105 * the standard library function, this takes a char, not an int,
106 * so don't call it on %EOF, but no need to cast to #guchar before

137 * unlike the standard library function, this takes a char, not
138 * an int, so don't call it on %EOF, but no need to cast to #guchar
139 * before passing a possibly non-ASCII character in.

145 * g_ascii_isdigit:
146 * @c: any character
148 * Determines whether a character is digit (0-9).
150 * Unlike the standard C library isdigit() function, this takes
151 * a char, not an int, so don't call it on %EOF, but no need to
152 * cast to #guchar before passing a possibly non-ASCII character in.

158 * g_ascii_isgraph:
159 * @c: any character
161 * Determines whether a character is a printing character and not a space.

164 * recognizes standard ASCII characters and ignores the locale,
165 * returning %FALSE for all non-ASCII characters. Also, unlike
166 * the standard library function, this takes a char, not an int,
167 * so don't call it on %EOF, but no need to cast to #guchar before

174 * g_ascii_islower:
175 * @c: any character
177 * Determines whether a character is an ASCII lower case letter.
179 * Unlike the standard C library islower() function, this only
180 * recognizes standard ASCII letters and ignores the locale,
181 * returning %FALSE for all non-ASCII characters. Also, unlike
182 * the standard library function, this takes a char, not an int,
183 * so don't call it on %EOF, but no need to worry about casting
184 * to #guchar before passing a possibly non-ASCII character in.
186 * Returns: %TRUE if @c is an ASCII lower case letter
190 * g_ascii_isprint:
191 * @c: any character
193 * Determines whether a character is a printing character.

207 * @c: any character
209 * Determines whether a character is a punctuation character.
211 * Unlike the standard C library ispunct() function, this only

263 * Returns: %TRUE if @c is an ASCII hexadecimal-digit character.
267 * G_ASCII_DTOSTR_BUF_SIZE:
269 * A good size for a buffer to be passed into g_ascii_dtostr().
270 * It is guaranteed to be enough for all output of that function
271 * on systems with 64bit IEEE-compatible doubles.
273 * The typical usage would be something like:
274 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
275 * char buf[G_ASCII_DTOSTR_BUF_SIZE];
277 * fprintf (out, "value=%s\n", g_ascii_dtostr (buf, sizeof (buf), value));
278 * ]|
282 * g_strstrip:

665 * A limitation of the implementation is that this function
666 * will still accept localized versions of infinities and NANs.
668 * This function is typically used when reading configuration
669 * files or other non-user input that should be locale independent.
670 * To handle input from the user you should normally use the
671 * locale-sensitive system strtod() function.
673 * To convert from a #gdouble to a string in a locale-insensitive
674 * way, use g_ascii_dtostr().
676 * If the correct value would cause overflow, plus or minus %HUGE_VAL
677 * is returned (according to the sign of the value), and %ERANGE is
678 * stored in %errno. If the correct value would cause underflow,
679 * zero is returned and %ERANGE is stored in %errno.
681 * This function resets %errno before calling strtod() so that
682 * you can reliably detect overflow and underflow.
684 * Returns: the #gdouble value.
