NAME
idn2_lookup_u8 - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <idn2.h>
int idn2_lookup_u8(const uint8_t * src, uint8_t ** lookupname, int
flags);
ARGUMENTS
const uint8_t * src
input zero-terminated UTF-8 string in Unicode NFC normal-
ized form.
uint8_t ** lookupname
newly allocated output variable with name to lookup in DNS.
int flags optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour.
DESCRIPTION
Perform IDNA2008 lookup string conversion on domain name src , as de-
scribed in section 5 of RFC 5891. Note that the input string must be
encoded in UTF-8 and be in Unicode NFC form.
Pass IDN2_NFC_INPUT in flags to convert input to NFC form before fur-
ther processing. IDN2_TRANSITIONAL and IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL do already
imply IDN2_NFC_INPUT.
Pass IDN2_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP in flags to convert any input A-labels to
U-labels and perform additional testing. This is default since version
2.2. To switch this behavior off, pass IDN2_NO_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP
Pass IDN2_TRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 transitional processing,
and IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 non-transitional pro-
cessing.
Multiple flags may be specified by binary or:ing them together.
After version 2.0.3: IDN2_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES disabled by default.
Previously we were eliminating non-STD3 characters from domain strings
such as _443._tcp.example.com, or IPs 1.2.3.4/24 provided to libidn2
functions. That was an unexpected regression for applications switching
from libidn and thus it is no longer applied by default. Use
IDN2_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES to enable that behavior again.
After version 0.11: lookupname may be NULL to test lookup of src
without allocating memory.
RETURNS
On successful conversion IDN2_OK is returned, if the output domain or
any label would have been too long IDN2_TOO_BIG_DOMAIN or
IDN2_TOO_BIG_LABEL is returned, or another error code is returned.
SINCE
0.1
