libidnkit(3LIB) Interface Libraries libidnkit(3LIB)NAMElibidnkit - IDN conversion library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lidnkit [ library... ]
#include <idn/api.h>
DESCRIPTION
Functions in this library provide conversions between ACE string and
multibyte character string of the current locale or a specified code‐
set. They support various manipulations of internationalized domain
names, including encoding conversion and name preparation. They are
designed according to IDNA framework where each application must do
necessary preparations for the internationalized domain names before
passing them to the resolver. The library provides easy-to-use, high-
level interfaces to help applications with the preparation.
The libidnkit library internally uses iconv(3C) to provide encoding
conversion from UTF-8 to the local encoding (such as ISO8859-1, usually
determined by the current locale), and from the local encoding to
UTF-8.
