NAME
       gsasl_stringprep_nfkc - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gsasl.h>

       char * gsasl_stringprep_nfkc(const char * in, ssize_t len);


ARGUMENTS
       const char * in
                   a UTF-8 encoded string.

       ssize_t len length of str, in bytes, or -1 if str is nul-terminated.


DESCRIPTION
       Converts a string into canonical form, standardizing such issues as whether a character with an accent is
       represented as a base character and combining accent or as a single precomposed character.

       The normalization mode is NFKC (ALL COMPOSE).  It standardizes differences that do not  affect  the  text
       content,  such  as  the  above-mentioned  accent  representation.  It  standardizes  the  "compatibility"
       characters in Unicode, such as SUPERSCRIPT THREE to the  standard  forms  (in  this  case  DIGIT  THREE).
       Formatting  information may be lost but for most text operations such characters should be considered the
       same. It returns a result with composed forms rather than a maximally decomposed form.


RETURN VALUE
       Return a newly allocated string, that is the NFKC normalized form of str, or NULL on error.


DEPRECATED
       No replacement functionality in GNU SASL, use GNU Libidn instead.  Note that in  SASL,  you  most  likely
       want to use SASLprep and not bare NFKC, see gsasl_saslprep().
