On successful return it will contain the number of code points actually output (which is also the number of flags actually output, if case_flags is not a null pointer). The decoder will never need to output more code points than the number of ASCII code points in the input, because of the way the encoding is defined. The number of code points output cannot exceed the maximum possible value of a punycode_uint, even if the supplied \fIoutput_length\fP is greater than that. .IP "punycode_uint [] output" 12 An array of code points like the input argument of \fBpunycode_encode()\fP (see above). .IP "unsigned char [] case_flags" 12 A \fBNULL\fP pointer (if the flags are not needed by the caller) or an array of boolean values parallel to the \fIoutput\fP array. Nonzero (true, flagged) suggests that the corresponding Unicode character be forced to uppercase by the caller (if possible), and zero (false, unflagged) suggests that it be forced to lowercase (if possible). ASCII code points (0..7F) are output already in the proper case, but their flags will be set appropriately so that applying the flags would be harmless. .SH "DESCRIPTION" Converts Punycode to a sequence of code points (presumed to be Unicode code points). .SH "RETURN VALUE" The return value can be any of the \fBPunycode_status\fP values defined above. If not \fBPUNYCODE_SUCCESS\fP, then \fIoutput_length\fP, \fIoutput\fP, and \fIcase_flags\fP might contain garbage. .SH "REPORTING BUGS" Report bugs to <bug-libidn@gnu.org>. .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright \(co 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Simon Josefsson. .br Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved on all copies. .SH "SEE ALSO" The full documentation for .B libidn is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
