NAME
punycode_encode - encode Unicode to Punycode SYNOPSIS
#include <punycode.h> int punycode_encode(size_t input_length, const punycode_uint [] input, const unsigned char [] case_flags, size_t * output_length, char [] output); ARGUMENTS
size_t input_length The number of code points in the input array and the number of flags in the case_flags array. const punycode_uint [] input An array of code points. They are presumed to be Unicode code points, but that is not strictly REQUIRED. The array contains code points, not code units. UTF-16 uses code units D800 through DFFF to refer to code points 10000..10FFFF. The code points D800..DFFF do not occur in any valid Unicode string. The code points that can occur in Unicode strings (0..D7FF and E000..10FFFF) are also called Unicode scalar values. const unsigned char [] case_flags A NULL pointer or an array of boolean values parallel to the input array. Nonzero (true, flagged) suggests that the corre- sponding Unicode character be forced to uppercase after being decoded (if possible), and zero (false, unflagged) suggests that it be forced to lowercase (if possible). ASCII code points (0..7F) are encoded literally, except that ASCII letters are forced to uppercase or lowercase according to the corresponding case flags. If case_flags is a NULL pointer then ASCII letters are left as they are, and other code points are treated as unflagged. size_t * output_length The caller passes in the maximum number of ASCII code points that it can receive. On successful return it will contain the number of ASCII code points actually output. char [] output An array of ASCII code points. It is *not* null-terminated; it will contain zeros if and only if the input contains zeros. (Of course the caller can leave room for a terminator and add one if needed.) DESCRIPTION
Converts a sequence of code points (presumed to be Unicode code points) to Punycode. RETURN VALUE
The return value can be any of the Punycode_status values defined above except PUNYCODE_BAD_INPUT. If not PUNYCODE_SUCCESS, then out- put_size and output might contain garbage. REPORTING BUGS

NAME
idna_to_ascii_4i - convert Unicode domain name label to text SYNOPSIS
#include <idna.h> int idna_to_ascii_4i(const uint32_t * in, size_t inlen, char * out, int flags); ARGUMENTS
const uint32_t * in input array with unicode code points. size_t inlen length of input array with unicode code points. char * out output zero terminated string that must have room for at least 63 characters plus the terminating zero. int flags an Idna_flags value, e.g., IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED or IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES. DESCRIPTION
The ToASCII operation takes a sequence of Unicode code points that make up one domain label and transforms it into a sequence of code points in the ASCII range (0..7F). If ToASCII succeeds, the original sequence and the resulting sequence are equivalent labels. It is important to note that the ToASCII operation can fail. ToASCII fails if any step of it fails. If any step of the ToASCII operation fails on any label in a domain name, that domain name MUST NOT be used as an internationalized domain name. The method for deadling with this failure is application-specific. The inputs to ToASCII are a sequence of code points, the AllowUnassigned flag, and the UseSTD3ASCIIRules flag. The output of ToASCII is either a sequence of ASCII code points or a failure condition. ToASCII never alters a sequence of code points that are all in the ASCII range to begin with (although it could fail). Applying the ToASCII operation multiple times has exactly the same effect as applying it just once. RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 on success, or an Idna_rc error code. REPORTING BUGS
