I'll have a look at it. BTW, next time you document a glibc function from scratch, please CC glibc <libc-alpha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> so that they can comment, and maybe find some bugs that we may not be able to detect. Also, providing a rendered version of the page is good for glibc people --who may not have cloned the man-pages-- to easily review it :) Rendered page: [[ MBRTOC32(3) Linux Programmer's Manual MBRTOC32(3) NAME mbrtoc32, c32rtomb - convert between multibyte sequence and 32‐bit wide character SYNOPSIS #include <uchar.h> size_t t mbrtoc32 (char32_t * restrict c32 , mbstate_t * restrict p); size_t c32rtomb (char * restrict s, char32_t c32 , mbstate_t * restrict p ); DESCRIPTION The mbrtoc32() function inspects at most n bytes of the UTF‐8 multibyte string starting at s. If a multibyte is identified as valid the corresponding UCS‐32 32‐bit wide character is stored in c32. If the multibyte charac‐ ter is the null wide character, it resets the shift state *p to the initial state and returns 0. If p is NULL, a static anonymous state known only to the function is used instead. The c32rtomb() function converts the 32‐bit wide charac‐ ter stored in c32 into a mutability sequence into the memory s. RETURN VALUES The mbrtoc32() function returns 0 for the nul character. -1 for invalid input, -2 for a truncated input, -3 for multibyte 32‐bit wide character sequence that is written to *c32. No bytes are processed from the input Otherwise the number of bytes in the multibyte sequence is returned. The c32tombr() function returns -1 on error otherwise the number of bytes used for the multibytes sequence. EXAMPLE The input sequence is written as byte sequence to allow a proper display. Note that the input is UTF‐8 and UTF‐32 , it may not possible to convert every code. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <locale.h> #include <uchar.h> #include <wchar.h> void toc32( char *in, int in_len, char32_t **outbuf, int *len) { char *p_in , *end ; char32_t *p_out,*out; size_t rc; out=malloc(in_len*sizeof(*out)); p_out = out; p_in = in; end = in + in_len; while((rc = mbrtoc32(p_out, p_in, end ‐ p_in, NULL))) { if(rc == ‐1) // invalid input break; else if(rc == (size_t)‐2) // truncated input break; else if(rc == (size_t)‐3) // UTF‐32 high surrogate p_out += 1; else { p_in += rc; p_out += 1; }; } // out_sz = p_out ‐ out + 1; *len=p_out ‐ out + 1; *outbuf=out; } void fromc32(char32_t *in, int in_len, char **outbuf, int *len) { char *out,*p; int i; size_t rc; p=out=malloc(MB_CUR_MAX * in_len); for(i=0;i<in_len;i++) { rc=c32rtomb(p, in[i], NULL); if(rc == (size_t)‐1) break; p += rc; } *outbuf=out; *len=p‐out+1; } void dump_u8(char *in, int len) { int i; printf("Processing %d UTF‐8 code units: [ ", len); for(i = 0; i <len ; ++i) printf("%#x ", (unsigned char)in[i]); puts("]"); } void dump_u32(char32_t *in, int len) { int i; printf("Processing %d UTF‐32 code units: [ ", len); for(i = 0; i < len; ++i) printf("0x%04x ", in[i]); puts("]"); } int main(void){ char in[] = "z00df6c34U0001F34C"; char32_t *out; int out_len,len; char *p; // make sure we have utf8 setlocale(LC_ALL, "de_DE.utf8"); dump_u8(in,sizeof in / sizeof *in); toc32(in,sizeof in / sizeof *in,&out,&out_len); dump_u32(out,out_len); fromc32(out,out_len,&p,&len); dump_u8(p,len); return 0; } This is a simple example and not production ready.
