14 Functions in this library provide conversions between ACE string and
15 multibyte character string of the current locale or a specified code‐
16 set. They support various manipulations of internationalized domain
17 names, including encoding conversion and name preparation. They are
18 designed according to IDNA framework where each application must do
19 necessary preparations for the internationalized domain names before
20 passing them to the resolver. The library provides easy-to-use, high-
21 level interfaces to help applications with the preparation.
22 The libidnkit library internally uses iconv(3C) to provide encoding
25 conversion from UTF-8 to the local encoding (such as ISO8859-1, usually
26 determined by the current locale), and from the local encoding to
27 UTF-8.
