idn_decodename(3) Library Functions Manual idn_decodename(3) NAME idn_decodename, idn_decodename2 - decode an internationalized domain name SYNOPSIS #include <idn/api.h> idn_result_t idn_decodename(idn_action_t actions, const char *from, char *to, size_t tolen); idn_result_t idn_decodename2(idn_action_t actions, const char *from, char *to, size_t tolen, const char *auxencoding); DESCRIPTION The function idn_decodename() decodes a domain name from and writes the re- sult on to, at most tolen bytes. Note that from must be terminated by NUL, and tolen includes room for a NUL character. The argument actions specifies which steps in the entire decoding process should be performed. The following list shows action names corresponding with steps of the decoding process. The function performs the steps in that order. 1. IDN_UNICODECONV Convert a domain name from local decoding (e.g. ISO-8859-1) to UTF-8. 2. IDN_MAP Perform mappings (NFC, Lowercase conversion, etc.). 3. IDN_ASCLOWER Convert ASCII uppercase letters (A..Z) to lowercase (a..z). 4. IDN_IDNCONV Convert A-labels to U-labels. 5. IDN_PROHCHECK Check prohibited code points. 6. IDN_UNASCHECK Check unassigned code points. 7. IDN_NFCCHECK Check labels are in NFC. 8. IDN_PREFCHECK Check labels containing "--" in the 3rd and 4th characters. 9. IDN_HYPHCHECK Check labels beginning/ending with "-". 10. IDN_COMBCHECK Check labels beginning with a combining mark. 11. IDN_CTXJCHECK Check CONTEXTJ code points. 12a. IDN_CTXOCHECK Check CONTEXTO code points for the registration protocol. 12b. IDN_CTXOLITECHECK Check CONTEXTO code points for the lookup protocol. 13. IDN_BIDICHECK Check requirements specified in [IDNA2008-BIDI]. 14. IDN_LOCALCHECK Perform local check (optional). 15. IDN_RTCHECK Perform round trip check for each label. 16. IDN_LOCALCONV Convert a domain name from UTF-8 to local encoding (e.g. ISO-8859-1). Between the step 2 and 3, the domain name is split into labels. The step 3 through 15 are applied to each label. After the step 15, labels are joined with a separator ``.''. A value of bitwise-OR of some actions can be specified, like: r = idn_decodename(IDN_IDNCONV | IDN_LOCALCONV, from, to, tolen); The function idn_decodename2() works same as idn_decodename(), but an en- coding conversion from auxencoding to UTF-8 is performed prior to the ac- tual decoding process. Instead, idn_decodename2() ignores IDN_UNICODECONV action. If auxencoding is NULL, from is treated as UTF-8. Also the following actions are provided for convenience: IDN_DECODE_REGIST Decode a domain name with IDNA2008 registration protocol. li- bidnkit performs the step 1..11, 12a, 13, 15 and 16. li- bidnkitlite performs the step 2..11, 12a, 13 and 15. IDN_DECODE_LOOKUP Decode a domain name with IDNA2008 lookup protocol. libidnkit performs the step 1..8, 10, 11, 12b, 13, 15 and 16. li- bidnkitlite performs the step 2..8, 10, 11, 12b, 13 and 15. Upon success, the functions returns idn_success. Otherwise, it returns an error code. See idn_result_tostring(3) for the complete list of error codes. EXAMPLE To decode an internationalized domain name returned from a resolver func- tion, use idn_decodename(). idn_result_t r; char ace_name[256]; struct hostent *hp; ... hp = gethostbyname(name); r = idn_decodename(IDN_DECODE_LOOKUP, hp->h_name, local_name, sizeof(local_name)); if (r != idn_success) { fprintf(stderr, "idn_decodename failed: %s\n", idn_result_tostring(r)); exit(1); } printf("name: %s\n", local_name); ...
