Tcl_UtfToUpper(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_UtfToUpper(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_UniCharToUpper, Tcl_UniCharToLower, Tcl_UniCharToTitle, Tcl_UtfToUpper, Tcl_UtfToLower, Tcl_UtfToTitle - routines for manipulating the
case of Unicode characters and UTF-8 strings.
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_UniChar
Tcl_UniCharToUpper(ch)
Tcl_UniChar
Tcl_UniCharToLower(ch)
Tcl_UniChar
Tcl_UniCharToTitle(ch)
int
Tcl_UtfToUpper(str)
int
Tcl_UtfToLower(str)
int
Tcl_UtfToTitle(str)
ARGUMENTS
int ch (in) The Tcl_UniChar to be converted.
char *str (in/out) Pointer to UTF-8 string to be converted in place.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The first three routines convert the case of individual Unicode characters:
If ch represents a lower-case character, Tcl_UniCharToUpper returns the corresponding upper-case character. If no upper-case character is
defined, it returns the character unchanged.
If ch represents an upper-case character, Tcl_UniCharToLower returns the corresponding lower-case character. If no lower-case character is
defined, it returns the character unchanged.
If ch represents a lower-case character, Tcl_UniCharToTitle returns the corresponding title-case character. If no title-case character is
defined, it returns the corresponding upper-case character. If no upper-case character is defined, it returns the character unchanged.
Title-case is defined for a small number of characters that have a different appearance when they are at the beginning of a capitalized
word.
The next three routines convert the case of UTF-8 strings in place in memory:
Tcl_UtfToUpper changes every UTF-8 character in str to upper-case. Because changing the case of a character may change its size, the byte
offset of each character in the resulting string may differ from its original location. Tcl_UtfToUpper writes a null byte at the end of
the converted string. Tcl_UtfToUpper returns the new length of the string in bytes. This new length is guaranteed to be no longer than
the original string length.
Tcl_UtfToLower is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns each character in the string into its lower-case equivalent.
Tcl_UtfToTitle is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns the first character in the string into its title-case equivalent and all fol-
lowing characters into their lower-case equivalents.
BUGS
At this time, the case conversions are only defined for the ISO8859-1 characters. Unicode characters above 0x00ff are not modified by
these routines.
