Description

idn2_register_ul(3)                 libidn2                idn2_register_ul(3)



NAME
       idn2_register_ul - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <idn2.h>

       int  idn2_register_ul(const char * ulabel, const char * alabel, char **
       insertname, int flags);

ARGUMENTS
       const char * ulabel
                   input zero-terminated locale encoded string, or NULL.

       const char * alabel
                   input zero-terminated ACE encoded string (xn--), or NULL.

       char ** insertname
                   newly allocated output variable with name  to  register  in
                   DNS.

       int flags   optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour.

DESCRIPTION
       Perform IDNA2008 register string conversion on domain label  ulabel and
       alabel , as described in section 4 of RFC 5891.  Note  that  the  input
       ulabel  is assumed to be encoded in the locale's default coding system,
       and will be transcoded to UTF-8 and NFC normalized by this function.

       It is recommended to supply both  ulabel and  alabel for  better  error
       checking,  but  supplying  just one of them will work.  Passing in only
       alabel is better than only  ulabel .  See RFC 5891 section 4  for  more
       information.

       After  version 0.11:  insertname may be NULL to test conversion of  src
       without allocating memory.

RETURNS
       On successful conversion IDN2_OK is returned, when  the  given   ulabel
       and    alabel  does  not  match  each  other  IDN2_UALABEL_MISMATCH  is
       returned,  when   either   of   the   input   labels   are   too   long
       IDN2_TOO_BIG_LABEL is returned, when  alabel does does not appear to be
       a proper A-label IDN2_INVALID_ALABEL is returned, when   ulabel  locale
       to  UTF-8  conversion  failed  IDN2_ICONV_FAIL  is returned, or another
       error code is returned.
