idncmp(1)		     General Commands Manual		       idncmp(1)

NAME
     idncmp - compare internationalized domain names

SYNOPSIS
     idncmp [options..] name1 name2

DESCRIPTION
     idncmp  command  tries  to  convert internationalized domain name name1 and
     name2 to A-labels, and then compares them.  If they are equivalent,  idncmp
     outputs the message:

	 matched.

     to  standard  error and returns with exit code 0. If they have differences,
     output:

	 unmatched.

     to standard error and returns with exit code 1.  If name1,  name2	or  both
     names  are  not valid internationalized domain names, it outputs the reason
     (e.g. ``invalid encoding'') to standard error and returns with exit code 2.
     If an internal error such as memory exhaustion is	caused,  idncmp  outputs
     the reason to standard error and then returns with exit code 3.

     Unless  -noconf  (or -C) option is given, idncmp reads a configuration file
     (/usr/local/etc/idn2.conf, ~/.idn2rc or a file specified by an option)  and
     performs conversions according to the parameters specified in the file.

OPTIONS
     -in in-code, -i in-code
	 Specify  the  encoding name of the domain names specified as arguments.
	 Any of the following encoding names can be recognized.

	 * Any encoding names which iconv_open() accepts

	 * Punycode

	 * UTF-8

	 * Any alias names for the above, defined by the encoding alias file.

	 The  encoding	defaults  to  the  value  of  the  environment	variable
	 ``IDN_LOCAL_CODESET'' or, if it is not set, an encoding determined from
	 the locale information.

     -conf file, -c file
	 Specify  the  path of idnkit configuration file.  If not specified, the
	 default path (/usr/local/etc/idn2.conf or ~/.idn2rc)  is  used,  unless
	 -noconf (or -C) option is specified.

     -noconf, -C
	 Suppress reading a configuration file.

     -registration, -g
	 Use domain name registration protocol.

     -lookup, -l (default)
	 Use domain name lookup protocol.  This is the default behavior.

     -nomap, -M
	 Don't perform the ``map'' action.  This is the same as ``-skip map''.

     -skip action,...
	 Skip actions. the following action names are recognized:

	 map	mappings

	 asclower
		convert ASCII uppercase letters to lowercase

	 rtconv conversion from Punycode to Unicode for round trip check

	 prohcheck
		prohibited code point check

	 unascheck
		unassigned code point check

	 nfccheck
		NFC conformance check

	 prefcheck
		ACE prefix check

	 hyphcheck
		hyphen check

	 combcheck
		combining character check

	 ctxjcheck
		CONTEXTJ code point check

	 ctxocheck
		CONTEXTO code point check for domain name registration protocol.

	 ctxolitecheck
		CONTEXTO code point check for domain name lookup protocol.

	 bidicheck
		Bidi check.

	 idnconvconversion to Punycode

	 lencheck
		label length check

	 rtcheckround trip check

     -localcheck file, -e file
	 Also  perform local code point check using file.  Using the local check
	 feature, you can check whether a domain name consists	of  code  points
	 allowed  by  a particular registry.  The format of file is explained in
	 idn_setlocalcheckfile(3).

     -quiet, -q
	 Suppress a result message; yield exit status only.

     -test, -t
	 Print which language, input encoding and output encoding will be chosen
	 if the same arguments are gievn to the command, and then  quit  immedi-
	 ately.

     -version, -v
	 Print version information and quit.

     -help, -h
	 Print help and quit.

LOCAL ENCODING
     idncmp  guesses  local encoding from locale and environment variables.  See
     the ``LOCAL ENCODING'' section in idn.conf(5) for more details.

     idnlang.conf(5)

BUGS
     The  automatic input-code decision depends on your system, and sometimes it
     cannot guess or guess wrong.  It is better to explicitly specify  it  using
     -in option.
