Functions
size_t	guac_utf8_charsize (unsigned char c)
	Given the initial byte of a single UTF-8 character, returns the overall byte size of the entire character.
size_t	guac_utf8_strlen (const char *str)
	Given a UTF-8-encoded string, returns the length of the string in characters (not bytes).
int	guac_utf8_write (int codepoint, char *utf8, int length)
	Given destination buffer and its length, writes the given codepoint as UTF-8 to the buffer, returning the number of bytes written.
int	guac_utf8_read (const char *utf8, int length, int *codepoint)
	Given a buffer containing UTF-8 characters, reads the first codepoint in the buffer, returning the length of the codepoint in bytes.

Function Documentation

size_t guac_utf8_charsize

(

unsigned char

c

)

Given the initial byte of a single UTF-8 character, returns the overall byte size of the entire character.

Parameters

c	The initial byte of the character to check.

Returns

The number of bytes in the given character overall.

int guac_utf8_read	(	const char *	utf8,
		int	length,
		int *	codepoint
	)

Given a buffer containing UTF-8 characters, reads the first codepoint in the buffer, returning the length of the codepoint in bytes.

If no codepoint could be read, zero is returned.

Parameters

utf8	A buffer containing UTF-8 characters.
length	The length of the buffer, in bytes.
codepoint	A pointer to an integer which will contain the codepoint read, if any. If no character can be read, the integer will be left untouched.

Returns

The number of bytes read, which may be zero if there is not enough space in the buffer to read a character.

size_t guac_utf8_strlen

(

const char *

str

)

Given a UTF-8-encoded string, returns the length of the string in characters (not bytes).

Parameters

str	The UTF-8 string to calculate the length of.

Returns

The length in characters of the given UTF-8 string.

int guac_utf8_write	(	int	codepoint,
		char *	utf8,
		int	length
	)

Given destination buffer and its length, writes the given codepoint as UTF-8 to the buffer, returning the number of bytes written.

If there is not enough space in the buffer to write the character, no bytes are written at all.

Parameters

codepoint	The Unicode codepoint to write to the buffer.
utf8	The buffer to write to.
length	The length of the buffer, in bytes.

Returns

The number of bytes written, which may be zero if there is not enough space in the buffer to write the UTF-8 character.
