idn2_to_ascii_4i(3) libidn2 idn2_to_ascii_4i(3)
NAME idn2_to_ascii_4i - API function
SYNOPSIS #include <idn2.h>
int idn2_to_ascii_4i(const uint32_t * input, size_t inlen, char * output, int flags);
ARGUMENTS const uint32_t * input zero terminated input Unicode (UCS-4) string.
size_t inlen number of elements in input .
char * output output zero terminated string that must have room for at least 63 characters plus the terminating zero.
int flags optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour.
DESCRIPTION THIS FUNCTION HAS BEEN DEPRECATED DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. USE idn2_to_ascii_4i2() INSTEAD !
The ToASCII operation takes a sequence of Unicode code points that make up one domain label and transforms it into a sequence of code points in the ASCII range (0..7F). If ToASCII succeeds, the original sequence and the resulting sequence are equivalent labels.
It is important to note that the ToASCII operation can fail. ToASCII fails if any step of it fails. If any step of the ToASCII operation fails on any label in a domain name, that domain name MUST NOT be used as an internationalized domain name. The method for dealing with this failure is application-specific.
The inputs to ToASCII are a sequence of code points.
ToASCII never alters a sequence of code points that are all in the ASCII range to begin with (although it could fail). Applying the ToASCII operation multiple effect as applying it just once.
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.
Return value: Returns IDN2_OK on success, or error code.
SINCE 2.0.0
DEPRECATED 2.1.1: Use idn2_to_ascii_4i2().
