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 inlen
length 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 resulting 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 internationalized domain name. The method for deadling with this
failure is application-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 sequence 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 operation multiple times has exactly the same effect as
applying it just once.
RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 on success, or an Idna_rc error code.
