New package: libunistring-0.9.3-2

2011-10-11 Thread Erwin Waterlander

Version 0.9.3-2 of libunistring has been uploaded.


libunistring (source package)
libunistring0 (runtime library)
libunistring-devel (development library and include files)
libunistring-doc (documentation)

DESCRIPTION:


Text files are nowadays usually encoded in Unicode, and may consist of 
very different scripts – from Latin letters to Chinese Hanzi –, with 
many kinds of special characters – accents, right-to-left writing marks, 
hyphens, Roman numbers, and much more. But the POSIX platform APIs for 
text do not contain adequate functions for dealing with particular 
properties of many Unicode characters. In fact, the POSIX APIs for text 
have several assumptions at their base which don't hold for Unicode text.


This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings and for 
manipulating C strings according to the Unicode standard.


homepage: http://www.gnu.org/s/libunistring/
license: LGPL

DETAILS:


This library consists of the following parts:

unistr.h elementary string functions
uniconv.h conversion from/to legacy encodings
unistdio.h formatted output to strings
uniname.h character names
unictype.h character classification and properties
uniwidth.h string width when using nonproportional fonts
uniwbrk.h word breaks
unilbrk.h line breaking algorithm
uninorm.h normalization (composition and decomposition)
unicase.h case folding
uniregex.h regular expressions (not yet implemented)


Who needs libunistring?
===

libunistring is for you if your application involves non-trivial text 
processing, such as upper/lower case conversions, line breaking, 
operations on words, or more advanced analysis of text. Text provided by 
the user can, in general, contain characters of all kinds of scripts. 
The text processing functions provided by this library handle all 
scripts and all languages.


libunistring is for you if your application already uses the ISO C / 
POSIX ctype.h, wctype.h functions and the text it operates on is 
provided by the user and can be in any language.


libunistring is also for you if your application uses Unicode strings as 
internal in-memory representation
