DESCRIPTION

46       unicode::wordbreak_callback_base is a C++ binding for the unicode
47       word-breaking rule implementation described in unicode_word_break(3).
48
49       Subclass unicode::wordbreak_callback_base and implement callback()
50       that's virtually inherited from unicode::wordbreak_callback_base. The
51       callback() callback function receives the output values from the
52       word-breaking algorithm, namely a bool indicating whether a word break
53       exists before the unicode character in the underlying input sequence.
54
55       callback() should return 0. A non-zero return reports an error, that
56       stops the word-breaking algorithm. See unicode_word_break(3) for more
57       information.
58
59       The input unicode characters for the word-breaking algorithm are
60       provided by the << operator, one unicode character at a time; or by the
61       () operator, passing either a container, or a beginning and an ending
62       iterator value for an input sequence of unicode characters.  finish()
63       indicates the end of the unicode character sequence.
64
65       unicode::wordbreakscan is a C++ binding for the unicode_wbscan_init(),
66       unicode_wbscan_next() and unicode_wbscan_end methods described in
67       unicode_word_break(3). Its << iterates over the unicode characters, and
68       finish() indicates the number of characters before the first unicode
69       word break. The << iterator returns a bool indicating when the first
70       word break has already been found, so further calls are not necessary.
