GNU LIBUNISTRING - Unicode string library
|
|
|
|
This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings and
|
|
for manipulating C strings according to the Unicode standard.
|
|
|
|
It consists of the following parts:
|
|
|
|
unistr.h elementary string functions
|
|
uniconv.h conversion from/to legacy encodings
|
|
unistdio.h formatted output to strings
|
|
uniname.h character names
|
|
unictype.h character classification and properties
|
|
uniwidth.h string width when using nonproportional fonts
|
|
unigbrk.h grapheme cluster breaks
|
|
uniwbrk.h word breaks
|
|
unilbrk.h line breaking algorithm
|
|
uninorm.h normalization (composition and decomposition)
|
|
unicase.h case folding
|
|
uniregex.h regular expressions (not yet implemented)
|
|
|
|
libunistring is for you if your application involves non-trivial text
|
|
processing, such as upper/lower case conversions, line breaking, operations
|
|
on words, or more advanced analysis of text. Text provided by the user can,
|
|
in general, contain characters of all kinds of scripts. The text processing
|
|
functions provided by this library handle all scripts and all languages.
|
|
|
|
libunistring is for you if your application already uses the ISO C / POSIX
|
|
<ctype.h>, <wctype.h> functions and the text it operates on is provided by
|
|
the user and can be in any language.
|
|
|
|
libunistring is also for you if your application uses Unicode strings as
|
|
internal in-memory representation.
