@chapter Case mappings @code{<unicase.h>}

This include file defines functions for case mapping for Unicode strings and
case insensitive comparison of Unicode strings and C strings.

These string functions fix the problems that were mentioned in
@ref{char * strings}, namely, they handle the Croatian
@sc{LETTER DZ WITH CARON}, the German @sc{LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S}, the
Greek sigma and the Lithuanian i correctly.

@section Case mappings of characters

@cindex Unicode character, case mappings
The following functions implement case mappings on Unicode characters ---
for those cases only where the result of the mapping is a again a single
Unicode character.

These mappings are locale and context independent.

@cartouche
@strong{WARNING!} These functions are not sufficient for languages such as
German, Greek and Lithuanian.  Better use the functions below that treat an
entire string at once and are language aware.
@end cartouche

@deftypefun ucs4_t uc_toupper (ucs4_t@tie{}@var{uc})
Returns the uppercase mapping of the Unicode character @var{uc}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun ucs4_t uc_tolower (ucs4_t@tie{}@var{uc})
Returns the lowercase mapping of the Unicode character @var{uc}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun ucs4_t uc_totitle (ucs4_t@tie{}@var{uc})
Returns the titlecase mapping of the Unicode character @var{uc}.

The titlecase mapping of a character is to be used when the character should
look like upper case and the following characters are lower cased.

For most characters, this is the same as the uppercase mapping.  There are
only few characters where the title case variant and the upper case variant
are different.  These characters occur in the Latin writing of the Croatian,
Bosnian, and Serbian languages.

@c Normally we would use .33 space for each column, but this is too much in
@c TeX mode, see
@c <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2009-05/msg00016.html>.

@section Case mappings of strings

@cindex case mappings
@cindex uppercasing
@cindex lowercasing
@cindex titlecasing
Case mapping should always be performed on entire strings, not on individual
characters.  The functions in this section do so.

These functions allow to apply a normalization after the case mapping.  The
reason is that if you want to treat @samp{@"{a}} and @samp{@"{A}} the same,
you most often also want to treat the composed and decomposed forms of such
a character, U+00C4 @sc{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS} and
U+0041 @sc{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A} U+0308 @sc{COMBINING DIAERESIS} the same.
The @var{nf} argument designates the normalization.

@cindex locale language
These functions are locale dependent.  The @var{iso639_language} argument
identifies the language (e.g@. @code{"tr"} for Turkish).  NULL means to use
locale independent case mappings.

@deftypefun {const char *} uc_locale_language ()
Returns the ISO 639 language code of the current locale.
Returns @code{""} if it is unknown, or in the "C" locale.

Returns the uppercase mapping of a string.

The @var{nf} argument identifies the normalization form to apply after the
case-mapping.  It can also be NULL, for no normalization.

The @var{resultbuf} and @var{lengthp} arguments are as described in
chapter @ref{Conventions}.

Returns the lowercase mapping of a string.

Returns the titlecase mapping of a string.

Mapping to title case means that, in each word, the first cased character
is being mapped to title case and the remaining characters of the word
are being mapped to lower case.

The @var{nf} argument identifies the normalization form to apply after the
case-mapping.  It can also be NULL, for no normalization.

The @var{resultbuf} and @var{lengthp} arguments are as described in
chapter @ref{Conventions}.

@node Case mappings of substrings
@section Case mappings of substrings

Case mapping of a substring cannot simply be performed by extracting the
substring and then applying the case mapping function to it.  This does not
work because case mapping requires some information about the surrounding
characters.  The following functions allow to apply case mappings to
substrings of a given string, while taking into account the characters that
precede it (the ``prefix'') and the characters that follow it (the ``suffix'').

@deftp Type casing_prefix_context_t
This data type denotes the case-mapping context that is given by a prefix
string.  It is an immediate type that can be copied by simple assignment,
without involving memory allocation.  It is not an array type.
@end deftp

@deftypevr Constant casing_prefix_context_t unicase_empty_prefix_context
This constant is the case-mapping context that corresponds to an empty prefix
string.
@end deftypevr

The following functions return @code{casing_prefix_context_t} objects:

@deftypefun casing_prefix_context_t u8_casing_prefix_context (const@tie{}uint8_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n})
@deftypefunx casing_prefix_context_t u16_casing_prefix_context (const@tie{}uint16_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n})
@deftypefunx casing_prefix_context_t u32_casing_prefix_context (const@tie{}uint32_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n})

Returns the case-mapping context of the prefix concat(@var{a}, @var{s}),
given the case-mapping context of the prefix @var{a}.
@end deftypefun

@deftp Type casing_suffix_context_t
This data type denotes the case-mapping context that is given by a suffix
string.  It is an immediate type that can be copied by simple assignment,
without involving memory allocation.  It is not an array type.
@end deftp

@deftypevr Constant casing_suffix_context_t unicase_empty_suffix_context
This constant is the case-mapping context that corresponds to an empty suffix
string.
@end deftypevr

The following functions return @code{casing_suffix_context_t} objects:

@deftypefunx casing_suffix_context_t u16_casing_suffix_context (const@tie{}uint16_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n})
@deftypefunx casing_suffix_context_t u32_casing_suffix_context (const@tie{}uint32_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n})
Returns the case-mapping context of a given suffix string.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun casing_suffix_context_t u8_casing_suffixes_context (const@tie{}uint8_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, casing_suffix_context_t@tie{}@var{a_context})
@deftypefunx casing_suffix_context_t u16_casing_suffixes_context (const@tie{}uint16_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, casing_suffix_context_t@tie{}@var{a_context})

Returns the case-mapping context of the suffix concat(@var{s}, @var{a}),
given the case-mapping context of the suffix @var{a}.
@end deftypefun

The following functions perform a case mapping, considering the
prefix context and the suffix context.

For example, to uppercase the UTF-8 substring between @code{s + start_index}
and @code{s + end_index} of a string that extends from @code{s} to
@code{s + u8_strlen (s)}, you can use the statements

@smallexample
size_t result_length;
uint8_t result =
  u8_ct_toupper (s + start_index, end_index - start_index,
                 u8_casing_prefix_context (s, start_index),
                 u8_casing_suffix_context (s + end_index,
                                           u8_strlen (s) - end_index),

Returns the case folded string.

Comparing @code{u8_casefold (@var{s1})} and @code{u8_casefold (@var{s2})}
with the @code{u8_cmp2} function is equivalent to comparing @var{s1} and

@cindex detecting case
The following functions determine whether a Unicode string is entirely in
upper case. or entirely in lower case, or entirely in title case, or already
case-folded.

@deftypefun int u8_is_uppercase (const@tie{}uint8_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u16_is_uppercase (const@tie{}uint16_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u32_is_uppercase (const@tie{}uint32_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
Sets @code{*@var{resultp}} to true if mapping NFD(@var{s}) to upper case is
a no-op, or to false otherwise, and returns 0.  Upon failure, returns -1 with
@code{errno} set.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int u8_is_lowercase (const@tie{}uint8_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u16_is_lowercase (const@tie{}uint16_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u32_is_lowercase (const@tie{}uint32_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
Sets @code{*@var{resultp}} to true if mapping NFD(@var{s}) to lower case is
a no-op, or to false otherwise, and returns 0.  Upon failure, returns -1 with
@code{errno} set.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int u8_is_titlecase (const@tie{}uint8_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u16_is_titlecase (const@tie{}uint16_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u32_is_titlecase (const@tie{}uint32_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
Sets @code{*@var{resultp}} to true if mapping NFD(@var{s}) to title case is
a no-op, or to false otherwise, and returns 0.  Upon failure, returns -1 with
@code{errno} set.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int u8_is_casefolded (const@tie{}uint8_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u16_is_casefolded (const@tie{}uint16_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u32_is_casefolded (const@tie{}uint32_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
Sets @code{*@var{resultp}} to true if applying case folding to NFD(@var{S}) is
a no-op, or to false otherwise, and returns 0.  Upon failure, returns -1 with
@code{errno} set.
@end deftypefun

The following functions determine whether case mappings have any effect on a
Unicode string.

@deftypefun int u8_is_cased (const@tie{}uint8_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u16_is_cased (const@tie{}uint16_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
@deftypefunx int u32_is_cased (const@tie{}uint32_t@tie{}*@var{s}, size_t@tie{}@var{n}, const@tie{}char@tie{}*@var{iso639_language}, bool@tie{}*@var{resultp})
Sets @code{*@var{resultp}} to true if case matters for @var{s}, that is, if
mapping NFD(@var{s}) to either upper case or lower case or title case is not
a no-op.  Set @code{*@var{resultp}} to false if NFD(@var{s}) maps to itself
under the upper case mapping, under the lower case mapping, and under the title
case mapping; in other words, when NFD(@var{s}) consists entirely of caseless
characters. Upon failure, returns -1 with @code{errno} set.
