DESCRIPTION

20       These   functions   are   a   set   of   shortcut    wrappers    around
21       tickit_utf8_count(3)  for performing a single simple counting operation
22       on a given string. When  performing  multiple  operations  on  a  given
23       string, it is more efficient to use tickit_utf8_count() directly.
24
25       tickit_utf8_mbswidth()  returns  the  number  of columns wide the given
26       Unicode string consumes.
27
28       tickit_utf8_byte2col() and tickit_utf8_col2byte() convert between  byte
29       and  column indexes within a given string; returning one when given the
30       other.
31

RETURN VALUE

33       tickit_utf8_mbswidth() and  tickit_utf8_byte2col()  return  an  integer
34       column count. tickit_utf8_col2byte() returns an integer byte count.
