idn2_to_ascii_4i(3)                 libidn2                idn2_to_ascii_4i(3)

NAME
       idn2_to_ascii_4i - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <idn2.h>

       int idn2_to_ascii_4i(const uint32_t * input, size_t inlen, char *
       output, int flags);

ARGUMENTS
       const uint32_t * input
                   zero terminated input Unicode (UCS-4) string.

       size_t inlen
                   number of elements in  input .

       char * output
                   output zero terminated string that must have room for at
                   least 63 characters plus the terminating zero.

       int flags   optional idn2_flags to modify behaviour.

DESCRIPTION
       THIS FUNCTION HAS BEEN DEPRECATED DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. USE
       idn2_to_ascii_4i2() INSTEAD !

       The ToASCII operation takes a sequence of Unicode code points that make
       up one domain label and transforms it into a sequence of code points in
       the ASCII range (0..7F). If ToASCII succeeds, the original sequence and
       the resulting sequence are equivalent labels.

       It is important to note that the ToASCII operation can fail.  ToASCII
       fails if any step of it fails. If any step of the ToASCII operation
       fails on any label in a domain name, that domain name MUST NOT be used
       as an internationalized domain name.  The method for dealing with this
       failure is application-specific.

       The inputs to ToASCII are a sequence of code points.

       ToASCII never alters a sequence of code points that are all in the
       ASCII range to begin with (although it could fail). Applying the
       ToASCII operation multiple effect as applying it just once.

       The default behavior of this function (when flags are zero) is to apply
       the IDNA2008 rules without the TR46 amendments. As the TR46
       non-transitional processing is nowadays ubiquitous, when unsure, it is
       recommended to call this function with the IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL and the
       IDN2_NFC_INPUT flags for compatibility with other software.

       Return value: Returns IDN2_OK on success, or error code.
