12. Normalization forms (composition and decomposition) <uninorm.h>

+ +

This include file defines functions for transforming Unicode strings to one +of the four normal forms, known as NFC, NFD, NKFC, NFKD. These +transformations involve decomposition and — for NFC and NFKC — composition +of Unicode characters. +

+ +
+ + +

12.1 Decomposition of Unicode characters

The following enumerated values are the possible types of decomposition of a +Unicode character. +

+ +

The following constant denotes the maximum size of decomposition of a single +Unicode character. +

+
+
Macro: unsigned int UC_DECOMPOSITION_MAX_LENGTH + +
+

This macro expands to a constant that is the required size of buffer passed to +the uc_decomposition and uc_canonical_decomposition functions. +

+ +

The following functions decompose a Unicode character. +

+
+
Function: int uc_decomposition (ucs4_t uc, int *decomp_tag, ucs4_t *decomposition) + +
+

Returns the character decomposition mapping of the Unicode character uc. +decomposition must point to an array of at least +UC_DECOMPOSITION_MAX_LENGTH ucs_t elements. +

+

When a decomposition exists, decomposition[0..n-1] and +*decomp_tag are filled and n is returned. Otherwise -1 is +returned. +

+ +
+
Function: int uc_canonical_decomposition (ucs4_t uc, ucs4_t *decomposition) + +
+

Returns the canonical character decomposition mapping of the Unicode character +uc. decomposition must point to an array of at least +UC_DECOMPOSITION_MAX_LENGTH ucs_t elements. +

+

When a decomposition exists, decomposition[0..n-1] is filled +and n is returned. Otherwise -1 is returned. +

+ +
+ + +

12.2 Composition of Unicode characters

+ +

The following function composes a Unicode character from two Unicode +characters. +

+
+
Function: ucs4_t uc_composition (ucs4_t uc1, ucs4_t uc2) + +
+

Attempts to combine the Unicode characters uc1, uc2. +uc1 is known to have canonical combining class 0. +

+

Returns the combination of uc1 and uc2, if it exists. +Returns 0 otherwise. +

+

Not all decompositions can be recombined using this function. See the Unicode +file ‘CompositionExclusions.txt’ for details. +

+ +
+ + +

12.3 Normalization of strings

+ +

The Unicode standard defines four normalization forms for Unicode strings. +The following type is used to denote a normalization form. +

+
+
Type: uninorm_t + +
+

An object of type uninorm_t denotes a Unicode normalization form. +This is a scalar type; its values can be compared with ==. +

+ +

The following constants denote the four normalization forms. +

+
+
Macro: uninorm_t UNINORM_NFD + +
+

Denotes Normalization form D: canonical decomposition. +

+ +
+
Macro: uninorm_t UNINORM_NFC + +
+

Normalization form C: canonical decomposition, then canonical composition. +

+ +
+
Macro: uninorm_t UNINORM_NFKD + +
+

Normalization form KD: compatibility decomposition. +

+ +
+
Macro: uninorm_t UNINORM_NFKC + +
+

Normalization form KC: compatibility decomposition, then canonical composition. +

+ +

The following functions operate on uninorm_t objects. +

+
+
Function: bool uninorm_is_compat_decomposing (uninorm_t nf) + +
+

Tests whether the normalization form nf does compatibility decomposition. +

+ +
+
Function: bool uninorm_is_composing (uninorm_t nf) + +
+

Tests whether the normalization form nf includes canonical composition. +

+ +
+
Function: uninorm_t uninorm_decomposing_form (uninorm_t nf) + +
+

Returns the decomposing variant of the normalization form nf. +This maps NFC,NFD → NFD and NFKC,NFKD → NFKD. +

+ +

The following functions apply a Unicode normalization form to a Unicode string. +

+
+
Function: uint8_t * u8_normalize (uninorm_t nf, const uint8_t *s, size_t n, uint8_t *resultbuf, size_t *lengthp) + +
+
Function: uint16_t * u16_normalize (uninorm_t nf, const uint16_t *s, size_t n, uint16_t *resultbuf, size_t *lengthp) + +
+
Function: uint32_t * u32_normalize (uninorm_t nf, const uint32_t *s, size_t n, uint32_t *resultbuf, size_t *lengthp) + +
+

Returns the specified normalization form of a string. +

+ +
+ + +

12.4 Normalizing comparisons

+ +

The following functions compare Unicode string, ignoring differences in +normalization. +

+
+
Function: int u8_normcmp (const uint8_t *s1, size_t n1, const uint8_t *s2, size_t n2, uninorm_t nf, int *resultp) + +
+
Function: int u16_normcmp (const uint16_t *s1, size_t n1, const uint16_t *s2, size_t n2, uninorm_t nf, int *resultp) + +
+
Function: int u32_normcmp (const uint32_t *s1, size_t n1, const uint32_t *s2, size_t n2, uninorm_t nf, int *resultp) + +
+

Compares s1 and s2, ignoring differences in normalization. +

+

nf must be either UNINORM_NFD or UNINORM_NFKD. +

+

If successful, sets *resultp to -1 if s1 < s2, +0 if s1 = s2, 1 if s1 > s2, and returns 0. +Upon failure, returns -1 with errno set. +

+ + + +
+
Function: char * u8_normxfrm (const uint8_t *s, size_t n, uninorm_t nf, char *resultbuf, size_t *lengthp) + +
+
Function: char * u16_normxfrm (const uint16_t *s, size_t n, uninorm_t nf, char *resultbuf, size_t *lengthp) + +
+
Function: char * u32_normxfrm (const uint32_t *s, size_t n, uninorm_t nf, char *resultbuf, size_t *lengthp) + +
+

Converts the string s of length n to a NUL-terminated byte +sequence, in such a way that comparing u8_normxfrm (s1) and +u8_normxfrm (s2) with the u8_cmp2 function is equivalent to +comparing s1 and s2 with the u8_normcoll function. +

+

nf must be either UNINORM_NFC or UNINORM_NFKC. +

+ +
+
Function: int u8_normcoll (const uint8_t *s1, size_t n1, const uint8_t *s2, size_t n2, uninorm_t nf, int *resultp) + +
+
Function: int u16_normcoll (const uint16_t *s1, size_t n1, const uint16_t *s2, size_t n2, uninorm_t nf, int *resultp) + +
+
Function: int u32_normcoll (const uint32_t *s1, size_t n1, const uint32_t *s2, size_t n2, uninorm_t nf, int *resultp) + +
+

Compares s1 and s2, ignoring differences in normalization, using +the collation rules of the current locale. +

+

nf must be either UNINORM_NFC or UNINORM_NFKC. +

+

If successful, sets *resultp to -1 if s1 < s2, +0 if s1 = s2, 1 if s1 > s2, and returns 0. +Upon failure, returns -1 with errno set. +

+ +
+ + +

12.5 Normalization of streams of Unicode characters

+ +

A “stream of Unicode characters” is essentially a function that accepts an +ucs4_t argument repeatedly, optionally combined with a function that +“flushes” the stream. +

+
+
Type: struct uninorm_filter + +
+

This is the data type of a stream of Unicode characters that normalizes its +input according to a given normalization form and passes the normalized +character sequence to the encapsulated stream of Unicode characters. +

+ +
+
Function: struct uninorm_filter * uninorm_filter_create (uninorm_t nf, int (*stream_func) (void *stream_data, ucs4_t uc), void *stream_data) + +
+

Creates and returns a normalization filter for Unicode characters. +

+

The pair (stream_func, stream_data) is the encapsulated stream. +stream_func (stream_data, uc) receives the Unicode +character uc and returns 0 if successful, or -1 with errno set +upon failure. +

+

Returns the new filter, or NULL with errno set upon failure. +

+ +
+
Function: int uninorm_filter_write (struct uninorm_filter *filter, ucs4_t uc) + +
+

Stuffs a Unicode character into a normalizing filter. +Returns 0 if successful, or -1 with errno set upon failure. +

+ +
+
Function: int uninorm_filter_flush (struct uninorm_filter *filter) + +
+

Brings data buffered in the filter to its destination, the encapsulated stream. +

+

Returns 0 if successful, or -1 with errno set upon failure. +

+

Note! If after calling this function, additional characters are written +into the filter, the resulting character sequence in the encapsulated stream +will not necessarily be normalized. +

+ +
+
Function: int uninorm_filter_free (struct uninorm_filter *filter) + +
+

Brings data buffered in the filter to its destination, the encapsulated stream, +then closes and frees the filter. +

+

Returns 0 if successful, or -1 with errno set upon failure. +
