95 const punycode_uint input[],
96 const unsigned char case_flags[],
97 size_t * output_length, char output[]);
100 punycode_encode() converts a sequence of code points (presumed to be
101 Unicode code points) to Punycode.
103 Input arguments (to be supplied by the caller):
105 input_length
106 The number of code points in the input array and the number
107 of flags in the case_flags array.
109 input
110 An array of code points. They are presumed to be Unicode
111 code points, but that is not strictly REQUIRED. The
112 array contains code points, not code units. UTF-16 uses
113 code units D800 through DFFF to refer to code points
114 10000..10FFFF. The code points D800..DFFF do not occur in
115 any valid Unicode string. The code points that can occur in
116 Unicode strings (0..D7FF and E000..10FFFF) are also called
117 Unicode scalar values.
119 case_flags
120 A null pointer or an array of boolean values parallel to
121 the input array. Nonzero (true, flagged) suggests that the
122 corresponding Unicode character be forced to uppercase after
123 being decoded (if possible), and zero (false, unflagged)
124 suggests that it be forced to lowercase (if possible).
125 ASCII code points (0..7F) are encoded literally, except that
126 ASCII letters are forced to uppercase or lowercase according
127 to the corresponding case flags. If case_flags is a null
128 pointer then ASCII letters are left as they are, and other
129 code points are treated as unflagged.
131 Output arguments (to be filled in by the function):
133 output
134 An array of ASCII code points. It is *not* null-terminated;
135 it will contain zeros if and only if the input contains
136 zeros. (Of course the caller can leave room for a
137 terminator and add one if needed.)
139 Input/output arguments (to be supplied by the caller and overwritten
140 by the function):
142 output_length
143 The caller passes in the maximum number of ASCII code points
144 that it can receive. On successful return it will contain
145 the number of ASCII code points actually output.
147 Return value:
149 Can be any of the punycode_status values defined above except
150 punycode_bad_input. If not punycode_success, then output_size
151 and output might contain garbage.
154 extern int punycode_decode (size_t input_length,
155 const char input[],
156 size_t * output_length,
157 punycode_uint output[],
158 unsigned char case_flags[]);
161 punycode_decode() converts Punycode to a sequence of code points
162 (presumed to be Unicode code points).
164 Input arguments (to be supplied by the caller):
166 input_length
167 The number of ASCII code points in the input array.
169 input
170 An array of ASCII code points (0..7F).
172 Output arguments (to be filled in by the function):
174 output
175 An array of code points like the input argument of
176 punycode_encode() (see above).
178 case_flags
179 A null pointer (if the flags are not needed by the caller)
180 or an array of boolean values parallel to the output array.
181 Nonzero (true, flagged) suggests that the corresponding
182 Unicode character be forced to uppercase by the caller (if
183 possible), and zero (false, unflagged) suggests that it
184 be forced to lowercase (if possible). ASCII code points
185 (0..7F) are output already in the proper case, but their
186 flags will be set appropriately so that applying the flags
187 would be harmless.
189 Input/output arguments (to be supplied by the caller and overwritten
190 by the function):
192 output_length
193 The caller passes in the maximum number of code points
194 that it can receive into the output array (which is also
195 the maximum number of flags that it can receive into the
196 case_flags array, if case_flags is not a null pointer). On
197 successful return it will contain the number of code points
198 actually output (which is also the number of flags actually
199 output, if case_flags is not a null pointer). The decoder
200 will never need to output more code points than the number
201 of ASCII code points in the input, because of the way the
202 encoding is defined. The number of code points output
203 cannot exceed the maximum possible value of a punycode_uint,
204 even if the supplied output_length is greater than that.
206 Return value:
208 Can be any of the punycode_status values defined above. If not
209 punycode_success, then output_length, output, and case_flags
210 might contain garbage.
