4 /// \brief      Utility functions for handling multibyte strings
5 ///
6 /// If not enough multibyte string support is available in the C library,
7 /// these functions keep working with the assumption that all strings
8 /// are in a single-byte character set without combining characters, e.g.
9 /// US-ASCII or ISO-8859-*.

29 /// This is somewhat similar to wcswidth() but works on multibyte strings.

31 /// \param      str         String whose width is to be calculated. If the
32 ///                         current locale uses a multibyte character set
33 ///                         that has shift states, the string must begin
34 ///                         and end in the initial shift state.
35 /// \param      bytes       If this is not NULL, *bytes is set to the
36 ///                         value returned by strlen(str) (even if an
37 ///                         error occurs when calculating the width).
38 ///
39 /// \return     On success, the number of columns needed to display the
40 ///             string e.g. in a terminal emulator is returned. On error,
41 ///             (size_t)-1 is returned. Possible errors include invalid,
42 ///             partial, or non-printable multibyte character in str, or
43 ///             that str doesn't end in the initial shift state.

49 ///
50 /// Printing simple tables to a terminal can be done using the field field
51 /// feature in the printf() format string, but it works only with single-byte
52 /// character sets. To do the same with multibyte strings, tuklib_mbstr_fw()
53 /// can be used to calculate appropriate field width.
54 ///
55 /// The behavior of this function is undefined, if
56 ///   - str is NULL or not terminated with '\0';
57 ///   - columns_min <= 0; or
58 ///   - the calculated field width exceeds INT_MAX.
59 ///
60 /// \return     If tuklib_mbstr_width(str, NULL) fails, -1 is returned.
61 ///             If str needs more columns than columns_min, zero is returned.
62 ///             Otherwise a positive integer is returned, which can be
63 ///             used as the field width, e.g. printf("%*s", fw, str).
