NAME
       wstr_to_ascii - wide string handling functions

SYNOPSIS
       #include <synce.h>

       char *wstr_to_ascii(LPCWSTR unicode);
       char *wstr_to_utf8(LPCWSTR unicode);
       char *wstr_to_current(LPCWSTR unicode);

       LPWSTR wstr_from_ascii(const char * ascii);
       LPWSTR wstr_from_utf8(const char * utf8);
       LPWSTR wstr_from_current(const char * utf8);

       void wstr_free_string(void * string);

       size_t wstrlen(LPCWSTR unicode);

       LPWSTR wstrcpy(LPWSTR dest, LPCWSTR src);

       bool wstr_append(LPWSTR dest, LPCWSTR src, size_t max_dest_length);

       bool wstr_equal(LPWSTR a, LPWSTR b);

       LPWSTR wstrdup(LPCWSTR string);

DESCRIPTION
       The  wstr_to_xxx()  functions convert a wide char string to the appropriate local string. The wstr_from_xxx() functions do the reverse. Use
       wstr_free_string() to free memory allocated for wide strings.

       wstrcpy() requires that dest is large enough to contain src.  No bounds checking is performed.

       wstr_append() requires that dest is at least max_dest_length long. No bounds checking is performed.

       The remaining functions perform standard string operations on wide char strings.

RETURN VALUE
       wstr_to_xxx() and wstr_from_xxx() return pointers to the allocated strings, or NULL on failure, which will occur if a source character can-
       not be represented in the destination encoding.

       wstrdup()  return  a  pointer  to  the  allocated  string, or NULL on failure.  wstrlen() returns the string length.  wstrcpy() returns the
       pointer to src.

       wstr_append() returns false on failure eg. if the sum of the lengths is greater than max_dest_length, true on success.

       wstr_equal() returns true if a and b are equal, false otherwise.
