size_t  n 
)

Same as the standard strncpy just with Eina_Unicode instead of char.

Eina_Unicode* eina_unicode_strndup ( const Eina_Unicode text,
size_t  n 
)

Same as strdup but cuts on the given size. Assumes n < len.

Parameters:
[in]textThe text to duplicate.
[in]nThe maximum size of the text to duplicate.
Returns:
The duplicated string.

This function duplicates text. The resulting string is cut on n. n is assumed to be lesser (<) than the length of text. When not needed anymore, the returned string must be freed.

size_t eina_unicode_strnlen ( const Eina_Unicode ustr,
int  n 
)

Returns the length of a Eina_Unicode string, up to a limit.

This function returns the number of characters in string, up to a maximum of n. If the terminating character is not found in the string, it returns n.

Parameters:
[in]ustrString to search
[in]nMax length to search
Returns:
Number of characters or n.
Since :

Same as the standard strstr just with Eina_Unicode instead of char.

Parameters:
[in]haystackThe text to be searched.
[in]needleThe text to search for
Returns:
The substring of haystack which starts with needle when needle is founded in haystack, or NULL is returned.
Since :

Eina_Unicode eina_unicode_utf8_get_next ( const char *  buf,
int *  iindex 
)
Deprecated:
use eina_unicode_utf8_next_get Deprecated since Tizen 2.4 Reads UTF8 bytes from buf, starting at iindex and returns the decoded code point at iindex offset, and advances iindex to the next code point after this. iindex is always advanced, unless if the advancement is after the NULL.

On error: return a codepoint between DC80 to DCFF where the low 8 bits are the byte's value.

Parameters:
[in]bufthe string
[in,out]iindexthe index to look at and return by.
Returns:
the codepoint found, 0 if buf or iindex are NULL
Since (EFL) :
1.1.0
Since :
2.3
Eina_Unicode eina_unicode_utf8_get_prev ( const char *  buf,
int *  iindex 
)

Reads UTF8 bytes from buf, starting at iindex and returns the decoded code point at iindex offset, and moves iindex to the previous code point. iindex is always moved, as long as it's not past the start of the string.

On error: return a codepoint between DC80 to DCFF where the low 8 bits are the byte's value.

Parameters:
[in]bufthe string
[in,out]iindexthe index to look at and return by.
Returns:
the codepoint found.
Since (EFL) :

static Eina_Unicode eina_unicode_utf8_next_get ( const char *  buf,
int *  iindex 
) [static]

Reads UTF8 bytes from buf, starting at iindex and returns the decoded code point at iindex offset, and advances iindex to the next code point after this. iindex is always advanced, unless if the advancement is after the NULL.

On error: return a codepoint between DC80 to DCFF where the low 8 bits are the byte's value.

Parameters:
[in]bufthe string
[in,out]iindexthe index to look at and return by.
Returns:
the codepoint found, 0 if buf or iindex are NULL
Since (EFL) :
1.8.0
Eina_Unicode* eina_unicode_utf8_to_unicode ( const char *  utf,

Converts a utf-8 string to a newly allocated Eina_Unicode string.

Parameters:
[in]utfthe string in utf-8
[out]_lenthe length of the returned Eina_Unicode string.
Returns:
the newly allocated Eina_Unicode string.
Since (EFL) :
1.1.0
