idna_to_ascii_4i(3)		     libidn		     idna_to_ascii_4i(3)

NAME
     idna_to_ascii_4i - API function

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 inlenlength 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 re-
     sulting 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	interna-
     tionalized domain name. The method for deadling with this failure is appli-
     cation-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 se-
     quence 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 opera-
     tion multiple times has exactly the same effect as applying it just once.

     Return value: Returns 0 on success, or an Idna_rc error code.
