idn2_to_ascii_4i2(3) libidn2 idn2_to_ascii_4i2(3) NAME idn2_to_ascii_4i2 - API function SYNOPSIS #include <idn2.h> int idn2_to_ascii_4i2(const uint32_t * input, size_t inlen, char ** output, int flags); ARGUMENTS const uint32_t * input zero terminated input Unicode (UCS-4) string. size_t inlennumber of elements in input . char ** output pointer to newly allocated zero-terminated output string. int flags optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour. 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 dealing with this failure is appli- cation-specific. The inputs to ToASCII are a sequence of code points. 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 effect as applying it just once. The default behavior of this function (when flags are zero) is to apply the IDNA2008 rules without the TR46 amendments. As the TR46 non-transitional processing is nowadays ubiquitous, when unsure, it is recommended to call this function with the IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL and the IDN2_NFC_INPUT flags for compatibility with other software. RETURNS On successful conversion IDN2_OK is returned; if the output label would have been too long IDN2_TOO_BIG_LABEL is returned, or another error code is returned.
