NAME
       RkMapRoma - perform Romaji-kana conversion by using a specified Romaji-
       kana conversion table

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<canna/RK.h>
       int RkMapRoma(romaji, dst, maxdst, src, srclen, flags, status)
       struct RkRxDic *romaji;
       unsigned	char *dst;
       int maxdst;
       unsigned	char *src;
       int srclen;
       int flags;
       int *status;

DESCRIPTION
       RkMapRoma  performs Romaji-kana conversion by using a specified Romaji-
       kana conversion table.  romaji specifies	a pointer to  the  Romaji-kana
       conversion  table  that	has been returned by RkOpenRoma(3).  RkMapRoma
       interprets the srclen bytes of contiguous data starting at the area src
       as a Romaji character string and	searches through the Romaji-kana  con-
       version	table  for the rule of Romaji-kana conversion that matches the
       beginning of the	Romaji character string.  If the corresponding conver-
       sion rule is found, the corresponding kana character string  is	stored
       in  the area dst.  The resulting	character string is truncated when its
       byte length exceeds maxdst -1.  dst is padded with null	characters  at
       the end if possible.

       flags  is  a  combination of the	following Romaji-kana conversion flags
       connected by or:

	      RK_SOKUON	     Enables gemination, in which a  sequence  of  two
			     occurrences  of  the  same	character, xx, is con-
			     verted to small kana character "tsu" only	if  it
			     is	 not defined in	the Romaji-kana	conversion ta-
			     ble file.

	      RK_FLUSH	     Converts  all  Romaji  characters	 compulsorily.
			     Useful  for  handling n appearing at the end of a
			     character string.

       The flags listed	below specify the type of characters  stored  in  src.
       These specified code conversion to be performed on the character	string
       derived from the	Romaji-kana conversion table.  These flags can use one
       by one.

	      RK_NFER	     No	conversion

	      RK_XFER	     Hiragana

	      RK_HFER	     Single-byte character

	      RK_KFER	     Katakana

	      RK_ZFER	     Double-byte character

       status  is  set	to  the	byte length of the character string set	in the
       area dst.  A negative value means that  there  is  no  matching	Romaji
       character string.

RETURN VALUE
       This  function returns the starting byte	length of the Romaji character
       string matched by Romaji-kana conversion.
