The <uchar.h> header, part of C11, adds a small number of utility functions for 16/32-bit "universal" characters, which may or may not be UTF-16/32. As our wchar_t is already ISO 10646, simply add light-weight wrappers around wcrtomb() and mbrtowc(). While there, also add (non-yet-standard) _l functions, similar to the ones we already have for the other locale-dependent functions. Reviewed by: theraven

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mbrtowc ,
|
|
.Fn mbrtoc16
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn mbrtoc32
|
|
functions inspect at most
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
bytes pointed to by
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
to determine the number of bytes needed to complete the next multibyte
|
|
character.
|
|
If a character can be completed, and
|
|
.Fa pc
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the wide character which is represented by
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is stored in the
|
|
.Vt wchar_t ,
|
|
.Vt char16_t
|
|
or
|
|
.Vt char32_t
|
|
it points to.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
these functions behave as if
|
|
.Fa pc
|
|
was
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
was an empty string
|
|
.Pq Qq
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
was 1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt mbstate_t
|
|
argument,
|
|
.Fa ps ,
|
|
is used to keep track of the shift state.
|
|
If it is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
these functions use an internal, static
|
|
.Vt mbstate_t
|
|
object, which is initialized to the initial conversion state
|
|
at program startup.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As a single
|
|
.Vt char16_t
|
|
is not large enough to represent certain multibyte characters, the
|
|
.Fn mbrtoc16
|
|
function may need to be invoked multiple times to convert a single
|
|
multibyte character sequence.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mbrtowc ,
|
|
.Fn mbrtoc16
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn mbrtoc32
|
|
functions return:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It 0
|
|
The next
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
or fewer bytes
|
|
represent the null wide character
|
|
.Pq Li "L'\e0'" .
|
|
.It >0
|
|
The next
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
or fewer bytes represent a valid character, these functions
|
|
return the number of bytes used to complete the multibyte character.
|
|
.It Po Vt size_t Pc Ns \-1
|
|
An encoding error has occurred.
|
|
The next
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
or fewer bytes do not contribute to a valid multibyte character.
|
|
.It Po Vt size_t Pc Ns \-2
|
|
The next
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
contribute to, but do not complete, a valid multibyte character sequence,
|
|
and all
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
bytes have been processed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mbrtoc16
|
|
function also returns:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Po Vt size_t Pc Ns \-3
|
|
The next character resulting from a previous call has been stored.
|
|
No bytes from the input have been consumed.

The
|
|
.Fn mbrtowc ,
|
|
.Fn mbrtoc16
|
|
and

|
.Fn mbrtoc32
|
|
functions will fail if:

.It Bq Er EILSEQ
|
