.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setrunelocale
|
|
controls the type of encoding used to represent runes as multibyte strings
|
|
as well as the properties of the runes as defined in
|
|
\fB<ctype.h>\fP.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa locale
|
|
argument indicates which locale to load.
|
|
If the locale is successfully loaded,
|
|
.Dv 0
|
|
is returned, otherwise an errno value is returned to indicate the
|
|
type of error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setinvalidrune
|
|
function sets the value of the global value
|
|
.Ev _INVALID_RUNE
|
|
to be
|
|
.Fa rune.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sgetrune
|
|
function tries to read a single multibyte character from
|
|
.Fa string ,
|
|
which is at most
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
bytes long.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fn sgetrune
|
|
is successful, the rune is returned.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa result
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fa *result
|
|
will point to the first byte which was not converted in
|
|
.Fa string.
|
|
If the first
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
bytes of
|
|
.Fa string
|
|
do not describe a full multibyte character,
|
|
.Ev _INVALID_RUNE
|
|
is returned and
|
|
.Fa *result
|
|
will point to
|
|
.Fa string.
|
|
If there is an encoding error at the start of
|
|
.Fa string ,
|
|
.Ev _INVALID_RUNE
|
|
is returned and
|
|
.Fa *result
|
|
will point to the second character of
|
|
.Fa string.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn sputrune
|
|
function tries to encode
|
|
.Fa rune
|
|
as a multibyte string and store it at
|
|
.Fa string ,
|
|
but no more than
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
bytes will be stored.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa result
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fa *result
|
|
will be set to point to the first byte in string following the new
|
|
multibyte character.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa string
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fa *result
|
|
will point to
|
|
.Dv "(char *)0 +"
|
|
.Fa x ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is the number of bytes that would be needed to store the multibyte value.
|
|
If the multibyte character would consist of more than
|
|
.Fa n
|
|
bytes and
|
|
.Fa result
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fa *result
|
|
will be set to
|
|
.Dv NULL.
|
|
In all cases,
|
|
.Fn sputrune
|
|
will return the number of bytes which would be needed to store
|
|
.Fa rune
|
|
as a multibyte character.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fgetrune
|
|
function operates the same as
|
|
.Fn sgetrune
|
|
with the exception that it attempts to read enough bytes from
|
|
.Fa stream
|
|
to decode a single rune. It returns either
|
|
.Ev EOF
|
|
on end of file,
|
|
.Ev _INVALID_RUNE
|
|
on an encoding error, or the rune decoded if all went well.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fungetrune
|
|
function pushes the multibyte encoding, as provided by
|
|
.Fn sputrune ,
|
|
of
|
|
.Fa rune
|
|
onto
|
|
.Fa stream
|
|
such that the next
|
|
.Fn fgetrune
|
|
call will return
|
|
.Fa rune .
|
|
It returns
|
|
.Ev EOF
|
|
if it fails and
|
|
.Dv 0
|
|
on success.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fputrune
|
|
function writes the multibyte encoding of
|
|
.Fa rune ,
|
|
as provided by
|
|
.Fn sputrune ,
|
|
onto
|
|
.Fa stream .
|
|
It returns
|
|
.Ev EOF
|
|
on failure and
|
|
.Dv 0
|
|
on success.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setrunelocale
|
|
function returns one of the following values:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width WWWWWWWW
|
|
.It Dv 0
|
|
.Fa setrunelocale was successful.
|
|
.It Ev EFAULT
|
|

|

|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.It Ev ENOENT
|
|
The locale could not be found.
|
|
.It Ev EFTYPE
|
|
The file found was not a valid file.
|
|
.It Ev EINVAL
|
|
The encoding indicated by the locale was unknown.
|
|

|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sgetrune
|
|
function either returns the rune read or
|
|
.Ev _INVALID_RUNE .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sputrune
|
|
function returns the number of bytes needed to store
|
|
.Fa rune
|
|
as a multibyte string.

.Sh NOTE
|
|
The ANSI C type
|
|
.Ev wchar_t
|
|
is the same as
|
|
.Ev rune_t .
|
|
.Ev Rune_t
|
|
was chosen to accent the purposeful choice of not basing the
|
|
system with the ANSI C
|
|
primitives, which were, shall we say, less aesthetic.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
These functions first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setrunelocale
|
|
function and the other non-ANSI rune functions were inspired by
|
|
.Nm Plan 9 from Bell Labs
|
|
as a much more sane alternative to the ANSI multibyte and
|
|
wide character support.
|
|
.\"They were conceived at the San Diego 1993 Summer USENIX conference by
|
|
.\"Paul Borman of Krystal Technologies, Keith Bostic of CSRG and Andrew Hume
|
|
.\"of Bell Labs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All of the ANSI multibyte and wide character
|
|
support functions are built using the rune functions.
