NAME
       libidnkit,  libidnkitlite  - internationalized domain name handling li-
       braries

OVERVIEW
       The libidnkit and libidnkitlite libraries support various manipulations
       of internationalized domain names.

       They are	designed according to IDNA framework  where  each  application
       must  encode  internationalized domain names before passing them	to the
       resolver.

       To help applications do the operation, the libraries  provide  easy-to-
       use, high-level interface for the work.

       Both  libraries	provide	 almost	 the same API.	The difference between
       them is that libidnkit internally uses iconv() function to provide  en-
       coding conversion from UTF-8 to the local encoding (such	as iso-8859-1,
       usually	determined  by	the  current  locale),	and  vise  versa.  li-
       bidnkitlite is lightweight version of libidnkit.	 Since it assumes  the
       local encoding is UTF-8,	it never uses iconv().

       The libraries provides the following functions:

       idn_checkname()
		      Validate an internationzalized domain name.

       idn_comparenames()
		      Compare two internationzalized domain names.

       idn_comparenames2()
		      Compare two internationzalized domain names.

       idn_decodename()
		      Decode an	internationalized domain name.

       idn_decodename2()
		      Decode an	internationalized domain name.

       idn_encodename()
		      Encode an	internationalized domain name.

       idn_nameinit() Initialize libidnkit or libidnkitelite library.

       idn_result_tostring()
		      Return a string corresponding with an error code.

       idn_setlanguage()
		      Set the current language.

       idn_setlocalencoding()
		      Set the local encoding.

       idn_setlocalcheckfile()
		      Set local	check data by reading a	file.

       idn_version_getstring()
		      Get a version string about idnkit.

       idn_version_idnatable()
		      Get a version string about idnkit.

       idn_version_libidn()
		      Get a version string about idnkit.

       idn_version_unicode()
		      Get a version string about idnkit.
