DESCRIPTION

These routines convert between UTF-8 strings and

Tcl_UniChars. A Tcl_UniChar is a Unicode character

represented as an unsigned, fixed-size quantity. A UTF-8

character is a Unicode character represented as a varying-

length sequence of up to TCL_UTF_MAX bytes. A multibyte

UTF-8 sequence consists of a lead byte followed by some

number of trail bytes.

TCL_UTF_MAX is the maximum number of bytes that it takes to

represent one Unicode character in the UTF-8 representation.

Tcl_UniCharToUtf stores the Tcl_UniChar ch as a UTF-8 string

in starting at buf. The return value is the number of bytes stored in buf.

Tcl_UtfToUniChar reads one UTF-8 character starting at src

and stores it as a Tcl_UniChar in *chPtr. The return value

is the number of bytes read from src.. The caller must ensure that the source buffer is long enough such that this

routine does not run off the end and dereference non-

existent or random memory; if the source buffer is known to

be null-terminated, this will not happen. If the input is

not in proper UTF-8 format, Tcl_UtfToUniChar will store the

first byte of src in *chPtr as a Tcl_UniChar between 0x0000

and 0x00ff and return 1.

Tcl_UniCharToUtfDString converts the given Unicode string to

UTF-8, storing the result in a previously-initialized

Tcl_DString. You must specify the length of the given

Unicode string. The return value is a pointer to the UTF-8

representation of the Unicode string. Storage for the

return value is appended to the end of the Tcl_DString.

Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString converts the given UTF-8 string to

Unicode, storing the result in the previously-initialized

Tcl_DString. you may either specify the length of the given

UTF-8 string or "-1", in which case Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString

uses strlen to calculate the length. The return value is a

pointer to the Unicode representation of the UTF-8 string.

Storage for the return value is appended to the end of the

Tcl_DString. The Unicode string is terminated with a

Unicode null character.

Tcl_UniCharLen corresponds to strlen for Unicode characters.

It accepts a null-terminated Unicode string and returns the

number of Unicode characters (not bytes) in that string. Tcl Last change: 8.1 4 Tcl Library Procedures Utf(3TCL)

Tcl_UniCharNcmp and Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp correspond to

strncmp and strncasecmp, respectively, for Unicode charac-

ters. They accepts two null-terminated Unicode strings and

the number of characters to compare. Both strings are

assumed to be at least len characters long. Tcl_UniCharNcmp

compares the two strings character-by-character according to

the Unicode character ordering. It returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0 if the first string is greater than, equal to, or less than the second string

respectively. Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp is the Unicode case

insensitive version.

Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch is the Unicode equivalent to |

Tcl_StringCaseMatch. It accepts a null-terminated Unicode |

string, a Unicode pattern, and a boolean value specifying | whether the match should be case sensitive and returns | whether the string matches the pattern.

Tcl_UtfNcmp corresponds to strncmp for UTF-8 strings. It

accepts two null-terminated UTF-8 strings and the number of

characters to compare. (Both strings are assumed to be at

least len characters long.) Tcl_UtfNcmp compares the two

strings character-by-character according to the Unicode

character ordering. It returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0 if the first string is greater than, equal to, or less than the second string respectively.

Tcl_UtfNcasecmp corresponds to strncasecmp for UTF-8

strings. It is similar to Tcl_UtfNcmp except comparisons

ignore differences in case when comparing upper, lower or title case characters.

Tcl_UtfCharComplete returns 1 if the source UTF-8 string src

of length len bytes is long enough to be decoded by

Tcl_UtfToUniChar, or 0 otherwise. This function does not

guarantee that the UTF-8 string is properly formed. This

routine is used by procedures that are operating on a byte

at a time and need to know if a full Tcl_UniChar has been

seen.

Tcl_NumUtfChars corresponds to strlen for UTF-8 strings. It

returns the number of Tcl_UniChars that are represented by

the UTF-8 string src. The length of the source string is

len bytes. If the length is negative, all bytes up to the first null byte are used.

Tcl_UtfFindFirst corresponds to strchr for UTF-8 strings.

It returns a pointer to the first occurrence of the

Tcl_UniChar ch in the null-terminated UTF-8 string src. The

null terminator is considered part of the UTF-8 string.

Tcl Last change: 8.1 5 Tcl Library Procedures Utf(3TCL)

Tcl_UtfFindLast corresponds to strrchr for UTF-8 strings.

It returns a pointer to the last occurrence of the

Tcl_UniChar ch in the null-terminated UTF-8 string src. The

null terminator is considered part of the UTF-8 string.

Given src, a pointer to some location in a UTF-8 string,

Tcl_UtfNext returns a pointer to the next UTF-8 character in

the string. The caller must not ask for the next character after the last character in the string if the string is not terminated by a null character.

Given src, a pointer to some location in a UTF-8 string (or

to a null byte immediately following such a string),

Tcl_UtfPrev returns a pointer to the closest preceding byte

that starts a UTF-8 character. This function will not back

up to a position before start, the start of the UTF-8

string. If src was already at start, the return value will be start.

Tcl_UniCharAtIndex corresponds to a C string array derefer-

ence or the Pascal Ord() function. It returns the

Tcl_UniChar represented at the specified character (not

byte) index in the UTF-8 string src. The source string must

contain at least index characters. Behavior is undefined if a negative index is given.

Tcl_UtfAtIndex returns a pointer to the specified character

(not byte) index in the UTF-8 string src. The source string

must contain at least index characters. This is equivalent

to calling Tcl_UtfNext index times. If a negative index is

given, the return pointer points to the first character in the source string.

Tcl_UtfBackslash is a utility procedure used by several of

the Tcl commands. It parses a backslash sequence and stores

the properly formed UTF-8 character represented by the

backslash sequence in the output buffer dst. At most

TCL_UTF_MAX bytes are stored in the buffer.

Tcl_UtfBackslash modifies *readPtr to contain the number of

bytes in the backslash sequence, including the backslash character. The return value is the number of bytes stored in the output buffer. See the Tcl manual entry for information on the valid backslash sequences. All of the sequences described in the

Tcl manual entry are supported by Tcl_UtfBackslash.
