NAME

       punycode_decode - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <punycode.h>

       int  punycode_decode(size_t  input_length,  const  char  [] input, size_t * output_length,
       punycode_uint [] output, unsigned char [] case_flags);

ARGUMENTS

       size_t input_length
                   The number of ASCII code points in the  input array.

       const char [] input
                   An array of ASCII code points (0..7F).

       size_t * output_length
                   The caller passes in the maximum number of code points  that  it  can  receive
                   into  the  output array (which is also the maximum number of flags that it can
                   receive into the
                    case_flags array, if  case_flags is  not  a  NULL  pointer).   On  successful
                   return  it  will  contain  the number of code points actually output (which is
                   also the number of  flags  actually  output,  if  case_flags  is  not  a  null
                   pointer).   The  decoder  will  never need to output more code points than the
                   number of ASCII code points in the input, because of the way the  encoding  is
                   defined.   The number of code points output cannot exceed the maximum possible
                   value of a punycode_uint, even if the supplied
                    output_length is greater than that.

       punycode_uint [] output
                   An array of code points like the  input  argument  of  punycode_encode()  (see
                   above).

       unsigned char [] case_flags
                   A  NULL  pointer  (if  the  flags are not needed by the caller) or an array of
                   boolean values  parallel  to  the   output  array.   Nonzero  (true,  flagged)
                   suggests  that  the  corresponding Unicode character be forced to uppercase by
                   the caller (if possible), and zero (false,  unflagged)  suggests  that  it  be
                   forced  to  lowercase  (if  possible).   ASCII  code points (0..7F) are output
                   already in the proper case, but their flags will be set appropriately so  that
                   applying the flags would be harmless.

DESCRIPTION

       Converts Punycode to a sequence of code points (presumed to be Unicode code points).

       Return value: The return value can be any of the Punycode_status values defined above.  If
       not PUNYCODE_SUCCESS, then
        output_length ,  output , and  case_flags might contain garbage.
