Charsets and Surfaces

enca_charset_name ()

const char* enca_charset_name               (int charset,
                                             EncaNameStyle whatname);

Translates numeric charset id charset to some kind of name.

enca_get_charset_aliases ()

const char** enca_get_charset_aliases       (int charset,
                                             size_t *n);

Returns list of accepted aliases for charset charset.

The list of aliases has to be freed by caller; the strings themselves must be considered constant and must NOT be freed.

enca_get_surface_name ()

char*       enca_get_surface_name           (EncaSurface surface,
                                             EncaNameStyle whatname);

Constructs surface name from surface flags surface.

enca_parse_encoding_name ()

EncaEncoding enca_parse_encoding_name       (const char *name);

Transofrms encoding specification charset/surface into numeric EncaEncoding.

When the charset name is not recognized, surfaces are not parsed at all and ENCA_CS_UNKNOWN is returned as charset. However, unrecognized surfaces are considered only a minor problem causing ENCA_SURFACE_UNKNOWN flag to be set in the result, beside recognized surface flags.

enca_charset_natural_surface ()

EncaSurface enca_charset_natural_surface    (int charset);

Returns natural surface of a charset.

enca_charset_properties ()

EncaCharsetFlags enca_charset_properties    (int charset);

Returns charset properties.

enca_charset_is_7bit()

#define     enca_charset_is_7bit(cs)

Expands to nonzero when characters are represented with 7bit characters.

enca_charset_is_8bit()

#define     enca_charset_is_8bit(cs)

Expands to nonzero when characters are represented with bytes.

enca_charset_is_16bit()

#define     enca_charset_is_16bit(cs)

Expands to nonzero when characters are represented with 2byte words.

enca_charset_is_32bit()

#define     enca_charset_is_32bit(cs)

Expands to nonzero when characters are represented with 4byte words.

enca_charset_is_fixed()

#define     enca_charset_is_fixed(cs)

Expands to nonzero when one characters consists of one fundamental piece.

enca_charset_is_variable()

#define     enca_charset_is_variable(cs)

Expands to nonzero when one character consists of variable number of fundamental pieces.

enca_charset_is_binary()

#define     enca_charset_is_binary(cs)

Expands to nonzero when charset is binary from ASCII viewpoint.

enca_charset_is_regular()

#define     enca_charset_is_regular(cs)

Expands to nonzero when charset is language dependent (8bit) charset.

enca_charset_is_multibyte()

#define     enca_charset_is_multibyte(cs)

Expands to nonzero when charset is multibyte.
