12  int ossl_punycode_decode(const char *pEncoded, const size_t enc_len,
13                           unsigned int *pDecoded, unsigned int *pout_length);

19=head1 DESCRIPTION
20
21PUNYCODE encoding introduced in RFCs 3490-3492 is widely used for
22representation of host names in ASCII-only format. Some specifications,
23such as RFC 8398, require comparison of host names encoded in UTF-8 charset.
24
25ossl_a2ulabel() decodes NUL-terminated hostname from PUNYCODE to UTF-8,
26using a provided buffer for output.
27
28ossl_a2ucompare() accepts two NUL-terminated hostnames, decodes the 1st
29from PUNYCODE to UTF-8 and compares it with the 2nd one as is.
30
31ossl_punycode_decode() decodes one label (one dot-separated part) from
32a hostname, with stripped PUNYCODE marker I<xn-->.
33
34=head1 RETURN VALUES
35
36ossl_a2ulabel() returns 1 on success, 0 on not enough buf passed,
37-1 on invalid PUNYCODE string passed. When valid string is provided, it sets the
38I<*outlen> to the length of required buffer to perform correct decoding.
39
40ossl_a2ucompare() returns 1 on non-equal strings, 0 on equal strings,
41-1 when invalid PUNYCODE string passed.
42
43ossl_punycode_decode() returns 1 on success, 0 on error. On success,
44*pout_length contains the number of codepoints decoded.
