.SH NAME
|

|
|
|
fmt_utf8 \- encode 31-bit unsigned integer using UTF-8 rules
|
|

.SH SYNTAX
|
|
|
|
|
.B #include <fmt.h>
|
|

|

|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
fmt_utf8 encodes a 31-bit unsigned integer using the UTF-8 rules. This
|
|
|
|
|
can take from 1 byte (0-0x7f) up to 5 bytes (0x4000000-0x7fffffff).
|
|
|
|
|
Values larger than 0x7fffffff cannot be represented in this encoding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If \fIdest\fR equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is NULL), fmt_utf8 returns the
|
|
|
|
|
number of bytes it would have written.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For convenience, fmt.h defines the integer FMT_UTF8 to be big enough to
|
|
|
|
|
contain every possible fmt_utf8 output.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH NOTE
|
|
|
|
|
fmt_utf8 and scan_utf8 implement the encoding from UTF-8, but are meant
|
|
|
|
|
to be able to store integers, not just Unicode code points. Values
|
|
|
|
|
larger than 0x10ffff are not valid UTF-8 (see RFC 3629) but can be
|
|
|
|
|
represented in the encoding, so fmt_utf8 will allow them.
