24 Provides bindings for GNU Libidn2, a C library for handling
25 internationalized domain names based on IDNA 2008, Punycode and TR46.
26 Functions
28 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_lookup_u8($src, [$flags, [$rc]]);
29 Alternative name idn2_to_ascii_8.
30 Perform IDNA2008 lookup string conversion on domain name $src, as
32 described in section 5 of RFC 5891. Note that the input string must
33 be encoded in UTF-8 and be in Unicode NFC form.
34 Pass IDN2_NFC_INPUT in $flags to convert input to NFC form before
36 further processing. IDN2_TRANSITIONAL and IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL do
37 already imply IDN2_NFC_INPUT.
38 Pass IDN2_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP in flags to convert any input A-labels
40 to U-labels and perform additional testing. This is default if used
41 with a libidn2 version >= 2.2. To switch this behavior off, pass
42 IDN2_NO_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP.
43 Pass IDN2_TRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 transitional
45 processing, and IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 non-
46 transitional processing.
47 Multiple flags may be specified by binary or:ing them together, for
49 example IDN2_NFC_INPUT | IDN2_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP.
50 If linked to library GNU Libidn2 version > 2.0.3:
52 IDN2_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES disabled by default. Previously we were
53 eliminating non-STD3 characters from domain strings such as
54 _443._tcp.example.com, or IPs 1.2.3.4/24 provided to libidn2
55 functions. That was an unexpected regression for applications
56 switching from libidn2 and thus it is no longer applied by default.
57 Use IDN2_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES to enable that behavior again.
58 On error, returns undef. If a scalar variable is provided in $rc,
60 returns the internal libidn2 C library result code as well.
61 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_lookup_ul($src, [$flags, [$rc]]);
63 Alternative name idn2_to_ascii_l.
64 Similar to function "idn2_lookup_u8" but $src is assumed to be
66 encoded in the locale's default coding system, and will be
67 transcoded to UTF-8 and NFC normalized before returning the result.
68 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_register_u8($ulabel, [$alabel, [$flags, [$rc]]]);
70 Perform IDNA2008 register string conversion on domain label $ulabel
71 and $alabel, as described in section 4 of RFC 5891. Note that the
72 input ulabel must be encoded in UTF-8 and be in Unicode NFC form.
73 Pass IDN2_NFC_INPUT in $flags to convert input $ulabel to NFC form
75 before further processing.
76 It is recommended to supply both $ulabel and $alabel for better
78 error checking, but supplying just one of them will work. Passing
79 in only $alabel is better than only $ulabel. See RFC 5891 section 4
80 for more information.
81 On error, returns undef. If a scalar variable is provided in $rc,
83 returns the internal libidn2 C library result code as well.
84 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_register_ul($ulabel, [$alabel, [$flags, [$rc]]]);
86 Similar to function "idn2_register_u8" but $ulabel is assumed to be
87 encoded in the locale's default coding system, and will be
88 transcoded to UTF-8 and NFC normalized before returning the result.
89 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_to_unicode_88($input, [$flags, [$rc]]);
91 Converts a possibly ACE encoded domain name in UTF-8 format into a
92 an UTF-8 encoded string (punycode decoding).
93 On error, returns undef. If a scalar variable is provided in $rc,
95 returns the internal libidn2 C library result code as well.
96 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_to_unicode_8l($input, [$flags, [$rc]]);
98 Similar to function "idn2_to_unicode_88" but the return value is
99 encoded in the locale's default coding system.
100 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_to_unicode_ll($input, [$flags, [$rc]]);
102 Similar to function "idn2_to_unicode_8l" but $input is also assumed
103 to be encoded in the locale's default coding system.
104 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_strerror($rc);
106 Convert internal libidn2 error code $rc to a human-readable string.
107 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_strerror_name($rc);
109 Convert internal libidn2 error code $rc to a string corresponding
110 to internal header file symbols names like IDN2_MALLOC.
111 Net::LibIDN2::idn2_check_version([$req_version])
113 Checks that the version of the underlying IDN2 C library is at
114 minimum the one given as a string in $req_version and if that is
115 the case returns the actual version string of the underlying C
116 library or undef if the condition is not met. If no parameter is
117 passed to this function no check is done and only the version
118 string is returned.
119 See IDN2_VERSION for a suitable $req_version string, it corresponds
121 to the idn2.h C header file version at compile time of this Perl
122 module. Normally these two version numbers match, but if you
123 compiled this Perl module against an older libidn2 and then run it
124 with a newer libidn2 shared library, they will be different.
125 Constants
127 IDN2_VERSION
128 Pre-processor symbol with a string that describes the C header file
129 version number at compile time of this Perl module. Used together
130 with idn2_check_version() to verify header file and run-time
131 library consistency.
132 IDN2_VERSION_NUMBER
134 Pre-processor symbol with a hexadecimal value describing the C
135 header file version number at compile time of this Perl module. For
136 example, when the header version is 1.2.4711 this symbol will have
137 the value 0x01021267. The last four digits are used to enumerate
138 development snapshots, but for all public releases they will be
139 0000.
140 IDN2_VERSION_MAJOR
142 Pre-processor symbol for the major version number (decimal). The
143 version scheme is major.minor.patchlevel.
144 IDN2_VERSION_MINOR
146 Pre-processor symbol for the minor version number (decimal). The
147 version scheme is major.minor.patchlevel.
148 IDN2_VERSION_PATCH
150 Pre-processor symbol for the patch level number (decimal). The
151 version scheme is major.minor.patchlevel.
152 IDN2_LABEL_MAX_LENGTH
154 Constant specifying the maximum length of a DNS label to 63
155 characters, as specified in RFC 1034.
156 IDN2_DOMAIN_MAX_LENGTH
158 Constant specifying the maximum size of the wire encoding of a DNS
159 domain to 255 characters, as specified in RFC 1034. Note that the
160 usual printed representation of a domain name is limited to 253
161 characters if it does not end with a period or 254 characters if it
162 ends with a period.
