NAME

       unicode::wordbreak_callback_base, unicode::wordbreak_callback_base - unicode word-breaking
       rules

SYNOPSIS

       #include <courier-unicode.h>

       class wordbreak : public unicode::wordbreak_callback_base {

       public:

           using unicode::wordbreak_callback_base::operator<<;
           using unicode::wordbreak_callback_base::operator();
           int callback(bool flag)
           {
               // ...
           }
       };

       unicode_char c;
       std::vector<unicode_char> buf;

       wordbreak compute_wordbreak;

       compute_wordbreak << c;

       compute_wordbreak(buf);
       compute_wordbreak(buf.begin(), buf.end());

       compute_wordbreak.finish();

       // ...

       unicode_wordbreakscan scan;

       scan << c;

       size_t nchars=scan.finish();

DESCRIPTION

       unicode::wordbreak_callback_base is a C++ binding for the unicode word-breaking rule
       implementation described in unicode_word_break(3).

       Subclass unicode::wordbreak_callback_base and implement callback() that's virtually
       inherited from unicode::wordbreak_callback_base. The callback() callback function receives
       the output values from the word-breaking algorithm, namely a bool indicating whether a
       word break exists before the unicode character in the underlying input sequence.

       callback() should return 0. A non-zero return reports an error, that stops the
       word-breaking algorithm. See unicode_word_break(3) for more information.

       The input unicode characters for the word-breaking algorithm are provided by the <<
       operator, one unicode character at a time; or by the () operator, passing either a
       container, or a beginning and an ending iterator value for an input sequence of unicode
       characters.  finish() indicates the end of the unicode character sequence.

       unicode::wordbreakscan is a C++ binding for the unicode_wbscan_init(),
       unicode_wbscan_next() and unicode_wbscan_end methods described in unicode_word_break(3).
       Its << iterates over the unicode characters, and finish() indicates the number of
       characters before the first unicode word break. The << iterator returns a bool indicating
       when the first word break has already been found, so further calls are not necessary.
