Name

punycode_decode - API function

Synopsis

output_length, punycode_uint [] output, unsigned char [] case_flags);

Description

punycode_decode(3)                  libidn                  punycode_decode(3)



NAME
       punycode_decode - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <punycode.h>

       int  punycode_decode(size_t input_length, const char [] input, size_t *
       output_length, punycode_uint [] output, unsigned char [] case_flags);

ARGUMENTS
       size_t input_length
                   The number of ASCII code points in the  input array.

       const char [] input
                   An array of ASCII code points (0..7F).

       size_t * output_length
                   The caller passes in the maximum number of code points that
                   it  can  receive  into the  output array (which is also the
                   maximum number of flags that it can receive into the
                    case_flags array, if  case_flags is not a  NULL  pointer).
                   On  successful  return  it  will contain the number of code
                   points actually output (which is also the number  of  flags
                   actually output, if case_flags is not a null pointer).  The
                   decoder will never need to output more code points than the
                   number  of  ASCII  code points in the input, because of the
                   way the encoding is defined.  The  number  of  code  points
                   output  cannot exceed the maximum possible value of a puny-
                   code_uint, even if the supplied
                    output_length is greater than that.

       punycode_uint [] output
                   An array of code points like the input  argument  of  puny-
                   code_encode() (see above).

       unsigned char [] case_flags
                   A  NULL pointer (if the flags are not needed by the caller)
                   or an array of  boolean  values  parallel  to  the   output
                   array.   Nonzero  (true,  flagged) suggests that the corre-
                   sponding Unicode character be forced to  uppercase  by  the
                   caller  (if possible), and zero (false, unflagged) suggests
                   that it be forced to lowercase (if possible).   ASCII  code
                   points  (0..7F)  are output already in the proper case, but
                   their flags will be set appropriately so that applying  the
                   flags would be harmless.

DESCRIPTION
       Converts  Punycode to a sequence of code points (presumed to be Unicode
       code points).

       Return value: The return value can be any of the Punycode_status values
       defined above.  If not PUNYCODE_SUCCESS, then
        output_length ,  output , and  case_flags might contain garbage.
