Description

Functions

GCC_VERSION_AT_LEAST()

# define GCC_VERSION_AT_LEAST(major, minor) ((__GNUC__ > (major)) || (__GNUC__ == (major) && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= (minor)))

Pre-processor symbol to check the gcc version.

Parameters

major

gcc major version number to compare with

 

minor

gcc minor version number to compare with

 

idn2_lookup_u8 ()

int
idn2_lookup_u8 (const uint8_t *src,
                uint8_t **lookupname,
                int flags);

Perform IDNA2008 lookup string conversion on domain name src , as described in section 5 of RFC 5891. Note that the input string must be encoded in UTF-8 and be in Unicode NFC form.

Pass IDN2_NFC_INPUT in flags to convert input to NFC form before further processing. IDN2_TRANSITIONAL and IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL do already imply IDN2_NFC_INPUT.

Pass IDN2_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP in flags to convert any input A-labels to U-labels and perform additional testing. This is default since version 2.2. To switch this behavior off, pass IDN2_NO_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP

Pass IDN2_TRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 transitional processing, and IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 non-transitional processing.

Multiple flags may be specified by binary or:ing them together.

After version 2.0.3: IDN2_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES disabled by default. Previously we were eliminating non-STD3 characters from domain strings such as _443._tcp.example.com, or IPs 1.2.3.4/24 provided to libidn2 functions. That was an unexpected regression for applications switching from libidn and thus it is no longer applied by default. Use IDN2_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES to enable that behavior again.

After version 0.11: lookupname may be NULL to test lookup of src without allocating memory.

Parameters

src

input zero-terminated UTF-8 string in Unicode NFC normalized form.

 

lookupname

newly allocated output variable with name to lookup in DNS.

 

flags

optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour.

 

Returns

On successful conversion IDN2_OK is returned, if the output domain or any label would have been too long IDN2_TOO_BIG_DOMAIN or IDN2_TOO_BIG_LABEL is returned, or another error code is returned.

Since: 0.1


idn2_register_u8 ()

int
idn2_register_u8 (const uint8_t *ulabel,
                  const uint8_t *alabel,
                  uint8_t **insertname,
                  int flags);

Perform IDNA2008 register string conversion on domain label ulabel and alabel , as described in section 4 of RFC 5891. Note that the input ulabel must be encoded in UTF-8 and be in Unicode NFC form.

Pass IDN2_NFC_INPUT in flags to convert input ulabel to NFC form before further processing.

It is recommended to supply both ulabel and alabel for better error checking, but supplying just one of them will work. Passing in only alabel is better than only ulabel . See RFC 5891 section 4 for more information.

After version 0.11: insertname may be NULL to test conversion of src without allocating memory.

Parameters

ulabel

input zero-terminated UTF-8 and Unicode NFC string, or NULL.

 

alabel

input zero-terminated ACE encoded string (xn--), or NULL.

 

insertname

newly allocated output variable with name to register in DNS.

 

flags

optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour.

 

Returns

On successful conversion IDN2_OK is returned, when the given ulabel and alabel does not match each other IDN2_UALABEL_MISMATCH is returned, when either of the input labels are too long IDN2_TOO_BIG_LABEL is returned, when alabel does does not appear to be a proper A-label IDN2_INVALID_ALABEL is returned, or another error code is returned.


idn2_lookup_ul ()

int
idn2_lookup_ul (const char *src,
                char **lookupname,
                int flags);

Perform IDNA2008 lookup string conversion on domain name src , as described in section 5 of RFC 5891. Note that the input is assumed to be encoded in the locale's default coding system, and will be transcoded to UTF-8 and NFC normalized by this function.

Pass IDN2_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP in flags to convert any input A-labels to U-labels and perform additional testing. This is default since version 2.2. To switch this behavior off, pass IDN2_NO_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP

Pass IDN2_TRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 transitional processing, and IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 non-transitional processing.

Multiple flags may be specified by binary or:ing them together, for example IDN2_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP | IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL.

The IDN2_NFC_INPUT in flags is always enabled in this function.

After version 0.11: lookupname may be NULL to test lookup of src without allocating memory.

Parameters

src

input zero-terminated locale encoded string.

 

lookupname

newly allocated output variable with name to lookup in DNS.

 

flags

optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour.

 

Returns

On successful conversion IDN2_OK is returned, if conversion from locale to UTF-8 fails then IDN2_ICONV_FAIL is returned, if the output domain or any label would have been too long IDN2_TOO_BIG_DOMAIN or IDN2_TOO_BIG_LABEL is returned, or another error code is returned.

Since: 0.1

                  int flags);

Perform IDNA2008 register string conversion on domain label ulabel and alabel , as described in section 4 of RFC 5891. Note that the input ulabel is assumed to be encoded in the locale's default coding system, and will be transcoded to UTF-8 and NFC normalized by this function.

It is recommended to supply both ulabel and alabel for better error checking, but supplying just one of them will work. Passing in only alabel is better than only ulabel . See RFC 5891 section 4 for more information.

After version 0.11: insertname may be NULL to test conversion of src without allocating memory.

Parameters

input zero-terminated locale encoded string, or NULL.

input zero-terminated ACE encoded string (xn--), or NULL.

 

insertname

newly allocated output variable with name to register in DNS.

 

flags

optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour.

 

Returns

idn2_to_ascii_4i2 ()

int
idn2_to_ascii_4i2 (const uint32_t *input,
                   size_t inlen,
                   char **output,

idn2_to_ascii_4z ()

int

                  char **output,

Convert UCS-4 domain name to ASCII string using the IDNA2008 rules. The domain name may contain several labels, separated by dots. The output buffer must be deallocated by the caller.

The default behavior of this function (when flags are zero) is to apply the IDNA2008 rules without the TR46 amendments. As the TR46 non-transitional processing is nowadays ubiquitous, when unsure, it is recommended to call this function with the IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL and the IDN2_NFC_INPUT flags for compatibility with other software.

Parameters

input

zero terminated input Unicode (UCS-4) string.

 

output

pointer to newly allocated zero-terminated output string.

 

flags

optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour.

 

Returns

Returns IDN2_OK on success, or error code.

Since: 2.0.0
