NAME

tickit_utf8_mbswidth, tickit_utf8_byte2col, tickit_utf8_col2byte - count the column width of a Unicode string

SYNOPSIS

#include <tickit.h>

int tickit_utf8_mbswidth(const char * str );

int tickit_utf8_byte2col(const char * str , size_t byte );
size_t tickit_utf8_col2byte(const char * str , int col );

DESCRIPTION

These functions are a set of shortcut wrappers around tickit_utf8_count (3) for performing a single simple counting operation on a given string. When performing multiple operations on a given string, it is more efficient to use tickit_utf8_count () directly.

tickit_utf8_mbswidth () returns the number of columns wide the given Unicode string consumes.

tickit_utf8_byte2col () and tickit_utf8_col2byte () convert between byte and column indexes within a given string; returning one when given the other.

RETURN VALUE

tickit_utf8_mbswidth () and tickit_utf8_byte2col () return an integer column count. tickit_utf8_col2byte () returns an integer byte count.
