NAME

       stringprep - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stringprep.h>

       int   stringprep(char   *   in,   size_t  maxlen,  Stringprep_profile_flags  flags,  const
       Stringprep_profile * profile);

ARGUMENTS

       char * in   input/ouput array with string to prepare.

       size_t maxlen
                   maximum length of input/output array.

       Stringprep_profile_flags flags
                   a Stringprep_profile_flags value, or 0.

       const Stringprep_profile * profile
                   pointer to Stringprep_profile to use.

DESCRIPTION

       Prepare the input zero terminated UTF-8 string according to the  stringprep  profile,  and
       write back the result to the input string.

       Note  that  you must convert strings entered in the systems locale into UTF-8 before using
       this function, see stringprep_locale_to_utf8().

       Since the stringprep operation can expand the  string,   maxlen  indicate  how  large  the
       buffer  holding the string is.  This function will not read or write to characters outside
       that size.

       The  flags are one of Stringprep_profile_flags values, or 0.

       The  profile contain the Stringprep_profile instructions to perform.  Your application can
       define  new  profiles, possibly re-using the generic stringprep tables that always will be
       part of the library, or use one of the currently supported profiles.

       Return value: Returns STRINGPREP_OK iff successful, or an error code.
