1 GNU LIBUNISTRING - Unicode string library
3 This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings and
4 for manipulating C strings according to the Unicode standard.
6 It consists of the following parts:
8 unistr.h elementary string functions
9 uniconv.h conversion from/to legacy encodings
10 unistdio.h formatted output to strings
11 uniname.h character names
12 unictype.h character classification and properties
13 uniwidth.h string width when using nonproportional fonts
15 unilbrk.h line breaking algorithm
16 uninorm.h normalization (composition and decomposition)
17 unicase.h case folding
18 uniregex.h regular expressions (not yet implemented)
20 libunistring is for you if your application involves non-trivial text
21 processing, such as upper/lower case conversions, line breaking, operations
22 on words, or more advanced analysis of text. Text provided by the user can,
23 in general, contain characters of all kinds of scripts. The text processing
24 functions provided by this library handle all scripts and all languages.
26 libunistring is for you if your application already uses the ISO C / POSIX
27 <ctype.h>, <wctype.h> functions and the text it operates on is provided by
28 the user and can be in any language.
30 libunistring is also for you if your application uses Unicode strings as
31 internal in-memory representation.
37 As usual for GNU packages:
39 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
