LIBUTF-8(3)           DragonFly Library Functions Manual           LIBUTF-8(3)


NAME

     utf-8 - library function manual page


SYNOPSIS

     #include <utf-8.h>

     unsigned int
     fgetu8(FILE *input);

     int
     fputu8(unsigned int c, FILE *output);

     unsigned int
     sgetu8(unsigned char *string, int *chars);

     char *
     sputu8(unsigned int c, char *buffer);


DESCRIPTION

     The utf-8 library <libutf-8.so> contains functions for the conversion of
     Unicode files and strings.  These functions have been designed in the
     style of the fgetc() and fputc() standard C functions.

     The fgetu8() and fputu8() functions work with files. The sgetu8() and
     sputu8() functions convert text strings in the computer memory.

     The fgetu8() and sgetu8() functions convert UTF-8 formatted data into a
     32-bit Unicode-style integer (UCS-4); the fputu8() and sputu8() functions
     do the opposite conversion.
