You should not usually need to interact directly with nccells. Each nccell contains exactly one extended grapheme cluster. If the EGC is encoded in UTF-8 with four or fewer bytes (all Unicode codepoints as of Unicode 13 can be encoded in no more than four UTF-8 bytes), it is encoded directly into the nccell's gcluster field, and no additional storage is necessary. Otherwise, the EGC is stored as a nul-terminated UTF-8 string in some backing egcpool. Egcpools are associated with ncplanes, so nccells must be considered associated with ncplanes. Indeed, ncplane_erase de- stroys the backing storage for all a plane's cells, invalidating them. This association is formed at the time of nccell_load, nccell_prime, or nc- cell_duplicate. All of these functions first call nccell_release, as do nccell_load_egc32, nccell_load_char, and nccell_load_ucs32. When done us- ing a nccell entirely, call nccell_release. ncplane_destroy will free up the memory used by the nccell, but the backing egcpool has a maximum size of 16MiB, and failure to release nccells can eventually block new output. Writing over an ncplane's cells releases them automatically. nccell_extended_gcluster provides a nul-terminated handle to the EGC. This ought be considered invalidated by changes to the nccell or egcpool. The handle is not heap-allocated; do not attempt to free(3) it. A heap-allo- cated copy can be acquired with nccell_strdup. ncstrwidth_valid returns the number of columns occupied by a valid UTF-8 string, or -1 if an error is encountered. In either case, the number of valid bytes and columns, respectively, consumed before error into valid- bytes and validwidth (assuming them to not be NULL). nccell_fg_palindex extracts the palette index from a cell's foreground channel. The channel must be palette-indexed, or the return value is mean- ingless. Verify palette indexing with nccell_fg_palindex_p. A cell's foreground channel can be set to palette-indexed mode (and have the index set) with nccell_set_fg_palindex. The index must be less than NCPALETTE- SIZE. Replace fg with bg to operate on the background channel. RETURN VALUES nccell_load and similar functions return the number of bytes loaded from the EGC, or -1 on failure. They can fail due to either an invalid UTF-8 input, or the backing egcpool reaching its maximum size. nccell_set_fg_rgb8 and similar functions will return -1 if provided invalid inputs, and 0 otherwise. nccellcmp returns a negative integer, 0, or a positive integer if c1 is less than, equal to, or more than c2, respectively. nccell_extended_gcluster returns NULL if called on a sprixel (see notcurses_visual(3). nccell_cols returns the number of columns occupied by c, according to wcwidth(3)*. ncstrwidth is an equivalent for strings. ncstrwidth_valid returns the same value as ncstrwidth. NOTES cell was renamed to nccell in Notcurses 2.2.0, so as not to bleed such a common term into the (single, global) C namespace. cell will be retained as an alias until Notcurses 3.0. Likewise, many functions prefixed with cell have been renamed to start with nccell.
