— Function: int u32_mblen (const uint32_t *s, size_t n)

Returns the length (number of units) of the first character in s, which is no longer than n. Returns 0 if it is the NUL character. Returns -1 upon failure.

— Function: int u32_mbtouc_unsafe (ucs4_t *puc, const uint32_t *s, size_t n)

Returns the length (number of units) of the first character in s, putting its ucs4_t representation in *puc. Upon failure, *puc is set to 0xfffd, and an appropriate number of units is returned.

The number of available units, n, must be > 0.

This function is similar to mbtowc, except that it operates on a Unicode string, puc and s must not be NULL, n must be > 0, and the NUL character is not treated specially.

— Function: int u32_mbtouc (ucs4_t *puc, const uint32_t *s, size_t n)

This function is like u8_mbtouc_unsafe, except that it will detect an invalid UTF-8 character, even if the library is compiled without --enable-safety.

— Function: int u8_mbtoucr (ucs4_t *puc, const uint8_t *s, size_t n)

— Function: int u32_mbtoucr (ucs4_t *puc, const uint32_t *s, size_t n)

Returns the length (number of units) of the first character in s, putting its ucs4_t representation in *puc. Upon failure, *puc is set to 0xfffd, and -1 is returned for an invalid sequence of units, -2 is returned for an incomplete sequence of units.

The number of available units, n, must be > 0.

This function is similar to u8_mbtouc, except that the return value gives more details about the failure, similar to mbrtowc.

Puts the multibyte character represented by uc in s, returning its length. Returns -1 upon failure, -2 if the number of available units, n, is too small. The latter case cannot occur if n >= 6/2/1, respectively.

This function is similar to wctomb, except that it operates on a Unicode strings, s must not be NULL, and the argument n must be specified.

— Function: uint32_t * u32_set (uint32_t *s, ucs4_t uc, size_t n)

Sets the first n characters of s to uc. uc should be a character that occupies only 1 unit.

This function is similar to memset, except that it operates on Unicode strings.

— Function: int u32_cmp (const uint32_t *s1, const uint32_t *s2, size_t n)

Compares s1 and s2, each of length n, lexicographically. Returns a negative value if s1 compares smaller than s2, a positive value if s1 compares larger than s2, or 0 if they compare equal.

This function is similar to memcmp, except that it operates on Unicode strings.
