Text files are nowadays usually encoded in Unicode, and may consist of very
|
|
|
|
|
|
different scripts – from Latin letters to Chinese Hanzi –, with many kinds
|
|
|
|
|
|
of special characters – accents, right-to-left writing marks, hyphens, Roman
|
|
|
|
|
|
numbers, and much more. But the POSIX platform APIs for text do not contain
|
|
|
|
|
|
adequate functions for dealing with particular properties of many Unicode
|
|
|
|
|
|
characters. In fact, the POSIX APIs for text have several assumptions at
|
|
|
|
|
|
their base which don't hold for Unicode text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings and for
|
|
|
|
|
|
manipulating C strings according to the Unicode standard.
