libcaca character set conversions -Functions¶
__extern uint32_t caca_utf8_to_utf32 (char const *, size_t *)
Convert a UTF-8 character to UTF-32. __extern size_t caca_utf32_to_utf8 (char *, uint32_t)
Convert a UTF-32 character to UTF-8. __extern uint8_t caca_utf32_to_cp437 (uint32_t)
Convert a UTF-32 character to CP437. __extern uint32_t caca_cp437_to_utf32 (uint8_t)
Convert a CP437 character to UTF-32. __extern char caca_utf32_to_ascii (uint32_t)
Convert a UTF-32 character to ASCII. __extern int caca_utf32_is_fullwidth (uint32_t)
Tell whether a UTF-32 character is fullwidth.
Detailed Description¶
These functions perform conversions between usual character sets.Function Documentation¶
__extern uint32_t caca_utf8_to_utf32 (char const *s, size_t *bytes)¶
Convert a UTF-8 character read from a string and return its value in the UTF-32 character set. If the second argument is not null, the total number of read bytes is written in it.If a null byte was reached before the expected end of the UTF-8 sequence, this function returns zero and the number of read bytes is set to zero.
This function never fails, but its behaviour with illegal UTF-8 sequences is undefined.
Parameters:
bytes A pointer to a size_t to store the number of bytes in the character, or NULL.
Returns:
Referenced by caca_put_str().
__extern size_t caca_utf32_to_utf8 (char *buf, uint32_tch)¶
Convert a UTF-32 character read from a string and write its value in the UTF-8 character set into the given buffer.This function never fails, but its behaviour with illegal UTF-32 characters is undefined.
Parameters:
ch The UTF-32 character.
Returns:
__extern uint8_t caca_utf32_to_cp437 (uint32_tch)¶
Convert a UTF-32 character read from a string and return its value in the CP437 character set, or '?' if the character has no equivalent.This function never fails.
Parameters:
Returns:
__extern uint32_t caca_cp437_to_utf32 (uint8_tch)¶
Convert a CP437 character read from a string and return its value in the UTF-32 character set, or zero if the character is a CP437 control character.This function never fails.
Parameters:
Returns:
__extern char caca_utf32_to_ascii (uint32_tch)¶
Convert a UTF-32 character into an ASCII character. When no equivalent exists, a graphically close equivalent is sought.This function never fails, but its behaviour with illegal UTF-32 characters is undefined.
Parameters:
Returns:
__extern int caca_utf32_is_fullwidth (uint32_tch)¶
Check whether the given UTF-32 character should be printed at twice the normal width (fullwidth characters). If the character is unknown or if its status cannot be decided, it is treated as a standard-width character.This function never fails.
Parameters:
Returns:
Referenced by caca_put_char(), and caca_put_str().
