16                   zero terminated input Unicode (UCS-4) string.
17
18       size_t inlen
19                   number of elements in  input .
20
21       char ** output

DESCRIPTION

27       The ToASCII operation takes a sequence of Unicode code points that make
28       up one domain label and transforms it into a sequence of code points in
29       the ASCII range (0..7F). If ToASCII succeeds, the original sequence and
30       the resulting sequence are equivalent labels.
31
32       It  is  important to note that the ToASCII operation can fail.  ToASCII
33       fails if any step of it fails. If any step  of  the  ToASCII  operation
34       fails  on any label in a domain name, that domain name MUST NOT be used
35       as an internationalized domain name.  The method for dealing with  this
36       failure is application-specific.
37
38       The inputs to ToASCII are a sequence of code points.
39
40       ToASCII  never  alters  a  sequence  of code points that are all in the
41       ASCII range to begin  with  (although  it  could  fail).  Applying  the
42       ToASCII operation multiple effect as applying it just once.
43
44       The default behavior of this function (when flags are zero) is to apply
45       the IDNA2008 rules without the TR46 amendments. As the TR46 non-transi‐
46       tional  processing  is  nowadays  ubiquitous, when unsure, it is recom‐
47       mended to call this function  with  the  IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL  and  the
48       IDN2_NFC_INPUT flags for compatibility with other software.
49
50       Return value: Returns IDN2_OK on success, or error code.
