-@chapter Extended Characters
-
-A number of languages use character sets that are larger than the range
-of values of type @code{char}.  Japanese and Chinese are probably the
-most familiar examples.
-
-The GNU C library includes support for two mechanisms for dealing with
-extended character sets: multibyte characters and wide characters.  This
-chapter describes how to use these mechanisms, and the functions for
-converting between them.
-@cindex extended character sets
-
-The behavior of the functions in this chapter is affected by the current
-locale for character classification---the @code{LC_CTYPE} category; see
-@ref{Locale Categories}.  This choice of locale selects which multibyte
-code is used, and also controls the meanings and characteristics of wide
-character codes.

-@section Introduction to Extended Characters
-
-You can represent extended characters in either of two ways:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-As @dfn{multibyte characters} which can be embedded in an ordinary
-string, an array of @code{char} objects.  Their advantage is that many
-programs and operating systems can handle occasional multibyte
-characters scattered among ordinary ASCII characters, without any
-change.
-
-@item
-@cindex wide characters
-As @dfn{wide characters}, which are like ordinary characters except that
-they occupy more bits.  The wide character data type, @code{wchar_t},
-has a range large enough to hold extended character codes as well as
-old-fashioned ASCII codes.
-
-An advantage of wide characters is that each character is a single data
-object, just like ordinary ASCII characters.  There are a few
-disadvantages:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-Each existing program must be modified and recompiled to make it use
-wide characters.
-
-@item
-Files of wide characters cannot be read by programs that expect ordinary
-characters.
-@end itemize
-@end itemize
-
-Typically, you use the multibyte character representation as part of the
-external program interface, such as reading or writing text to files.
-However, it's usually easier to perform internal manipulations on
-strings containing extended characters on arrays of @code{wchar_t}
-objects, since the uniform representation makes most editing operations
-easier.  If you do use multibyte characters for files and wide
-characters for internal operations, you need to convert between them
-when you read and write data.
-
-If your system supports extended characters, then it supports them both
-as multibyte characters and as wide characters.  The library includes
-functions you can use to convert between the two representations.
-These functions are described in this chapter.
-
-@node Locales and Extended Chars, Multibyte Char Intro, Extended Char Intro, Extended Characters
-@section Locales and Extended Characters
-
-A computer system can support more than one multibyte character code,
-and more than one wide character code.  The user controls the choice of
-codes through the current locale for character classification
-(@pxref{Locales}).  Each locale specifies a particular multibyte
-character code and a particular wide character code.  The choice of locale
-influences the behavior of the conversion functions in the library.
-
-Some locales support neither wide characters nor nontrivial multibyte
-characters.  In these locales, the library conversion functions still
-work, even though what they do is basically trivial.
-
-If you select a new locale for character classification, the internal
-shift state maintained by these functions can become confused, so it's
-not a good idea to change the locale while you are in the middle of
-processing a string.

-@section Multibyte Characters
-@cindex multibyte characters
-
-In the ordinary ASCII code, a sequence of characters is a sequence of
-bytes, and each character is one byte.  This is very simple, but
-allows for only 256 distinct characters.
-
-In a @dfn{multibyte character code}, a sequence of characters is a
-sequence of bytes, but each character may occupy one or more consecutive
-bytes of the sequence.
-
-@cindex basic byte sequence
-There are many different ways of designing a multibyte character code;
-different systems use different codes.  To specify a particular code
-means designating the @dfn{basic} byte sequences---those which represent
-a single character---and what characters they stand for.  A code that a
-computer can actually use must have a finite number of these basic
-sequences, and typically none of them is more than a few characters
-long.
-
-These sequences need not all have the same length.  In fact, many of
-them are just one byte long.  Because the basic ASCII characters in the
-range from @code{0} to @code{0177} are so important, they stand for
-themselves in all multibyte character codes.  That is to say, a byte
-whose value is @code{0} through @code{0177} is always a character in
-itself.  The characters which are more than one byte must always start
-with a byte in the range from @code{0200} through @code{0377}.
-
-The byte value @code{0} can be used to terminate a string, just as it is
-often used in a string of ASCII characters.
-
-Specifying the basic byte sequences that represent single characters
-automatically gives meanings to many longer byte sequences, as more than
-one character.  For example, if the two byte sequence @code{0205 049}
-stands for the Greek letter alpha, then @code{0205 049 065} must stand
-for an alpha followed by an @samp{A} (ASCII code 065), and @code{0205 049
-0205 049} must stand for two alphas in a row.
-
-If any byte sequence can have more than one meaning as a sequence of
-characters, then the multibyte code is ambiguous---and no good.  The
-codes that systems actually use are all unambiguous.
-
-In most codes, there are certain sequences of bytes that have no meaning
-as a character or characters.  These are called @dfn{invalid}.
-
-The simplest possible multibyte code is a trivial one:
-
-@quotation
-The basic sequences consist of single bytes.
-@end quotation
-
-This particular code is equivalent to not using multibyte characters at
-all.  It has no invalid sequences.  But it can handle only 256 different
-characters.
-
-Here is another possible code which can handle 9376 different
-characters:
-
-@quotation
-The basic sequences consist of
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-single bytes with values in the range @code{0} through @code{0237}.
-
-@item
-two-byte sequences, in which both of the bytes have values in the range
-from @code{0240} through @code{0377}.
-@end itemize
-@end quotation
-
-@noindent
-This code or a similar one is used on some systems to represent Japanese
-characters.  The invalid sequences are those which consist of an odd
-number of consecutive bytes in the range from @code{0240} through
-@code{0377}.
-
-Here is another multibyte code which can handle more distinct extended
-characters---in fact, almost thirty million:
-
-@quotation
-The basic sequences consist of
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-single bytes with values in the range @code{0} through @code{0177}.
-
-@item
-sequences of up to four bytes in which the first byte is in the range
-from @code{0200} through @code{0237}, and the remaining bytes are in the
-range from @code{0240} through @code{0377}.
-@end itemize
-@end quotation
-
-@noindent
-In this code, any sequence that starts with a byte in the range
-from @code{0240} through @code{0377} is invalid.
-
-And here is another variant which has the advantage that removing the
-last byte or bytes from a valid character can never produce another
-valid character.  (This property is convenient when you want to search
-strings for particular characters.)
-
-@quotation
-The basic sequences consist of
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-single bytes with values in the range @code{0} through @code{0177}.
-
-@item
-two-byte sequences in which the first byte is in the range from
-@code{0200} through @code{0207}, and the second byte is in the range
-from @code{0240} through @code{0377}.
-
-@item
-three-byte sequences in which the first byte is in the range from
-@code{0210} through @code{0217}, and the other bytes are in the range
-from @code{0240} through @code{0377}.
-
-@item
-four-byte sequences in which the first byte is in the range from
-@code{0220} through @code{0227}, and the other bytes are in the range
-from @code{0240} through @code{0377}.
-@end itemize
-@end quotation
-
-@noindent
-The list of invalid sequences for this code is long and not worth
-stating in full; examples of invalid sequences include @code{0240} and
-@code{0220 0300 065}.
-
-The number of @emph{possible} multibyte codes is astronomical.  But a
-given computer system will support at most a few different codes.  (One
-of these codes may allow for thousands of different characters.)
-Another computer system may support a completely different code.  The
-library facilities described in this chapter are helpful because they
-package up the knowledge of the details of a particular computer
-system's multibyte code, so your programs need not know them.
-
-You can use special standard macros to find out the maximum possible
-number of bytes in a character in the currently selected multibyte
-code with @code{MB_CUR_MAX}, and the maximum for @emph{any} multibyte
-code supported on your computer with @code{MB_LEN_MAX}.
-
-@comment limits.h
-@comment ISO
-@deftypevr Macro int MB_LEN_MAX
-This is the maximum length of a multibyte character for any supported
-locale.  It is defined in @file{limits.h}.
-@pindex limits.h
-@end deftypevr
-
-@comment stdlib.h
-@comment ISO
-@deftypevr Macro int MB_CUR_MAX
-This macro expands into a (possibly non-constant) positive integer
-expression that is the maximum number of bytes in a multibyte character
-in the current locale.  The value is never greater than @code{MB_LEN_MAX}.
-
-@pindex stdlib.h
-@code{MB_CUR_MAX} is defined in @file{stdlib.h}.
-@end deftypevr
-
-Normally, each basic sequence in a particular character code stands for
-one character, the same character regardless of context.  Some multibyte
-character codes have a concept of @dfn{shift state}; certain codes,
-called @dfn{shift sequences}, change to a different shift state, and the
-meaning of some or all basic sequences varies according to the current
-shift state.  In fact, the set of basic sequences might even be
-different depending on the current shift state.  @xref{Shift State}, for
-more information on handling this sort of code.
-
-What happens if you try to pass a string containing multibyte characters
-to a function that doesn't know about them?  Normally, such a function
-treats a string as a sequence of bytes, and interprets certain byte
-values specially; all other byte values are ``ordinary''.  As long as a
-multibyte character doesn't contain any of the special byte values, the
-function should pass it through as if it were several ordinary
-characters.
-
-For example, let's figure out what happens if you use multibyte
-characters in a file name.  The functions such as @code{open} and
-@code{unlink} that operate on file names treat the name as a sequence of
-byte values, with @samp{/} as the only special value.  Any other byte
-values are copied, or compared, in sequence, and all byte values are
-treated alike.  Thus, you may think of the file name as a sequence of
-bytes or as a string containing multibyte characters; the same behavior
-makes sense equally either way, provided no multibyte character contains
-a @samp{/}.

-@section Wide Character Introduction
-
-@dfn{Wide characters} are much simpler than multibyte characters.  They
-are simply characters with more than eight bits, so that they have room
-for more than 256 distinct codes.  The wide character data type,
-@code{wchar_t}, has a range large enough to hold extended character
-codes as well as old-fashioned ASCII codes.
-
-An advantage of wide characters is that each character is a single data
-object, just like ordinary ASCII characters.  Wide characters also have
-some disadvantages:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-A program must be modified and recompiled in order to use wide
-characters at all.
-
-@item
-Files of wide characters cannot be read by programs that expect ordinary
-characters.
-@end itemize
-
-Wide character values @code{0} through @code{0177} are always identical
-in meaning to the ASCII character codes.  The wide character value zero
-is often used to terminate a string of wide characters, just as a single
-byte with value zero often terminates a string of ordinary characters.

-@node Shift State,  , Example of Conversion, Extended Characters
-@section Multibyte Codes Using Shift Sequences
-
-In some multibyte character codes, the @emph{meaning} of any particular
-byte sequence is not fixed; it depends on what other sequences have come
-earlier in the same string.  Typically there are just a few sequences
-that can change the meaning of other sequences; these few are called
-@dfn{shift sequences} and we say that they set the @dfn{shift state} for
-other sequences that follow.
-
-To illustrate shift state and shift sequences, suppose we decide that
-the sequence @code{0200} (just one byte) enters Japanese mode, in which
-pairs of bytes in the range from @code{0240} to @code{0377} are single
-characters, while @code{0201} enters Latin-1 mode, in which single bytes
-in the range from @code{0240} to @code{0377} are characters, and
-interpreted according to the ISO Latin-1 character set.  This is a
-multibyte code which has two alternative shift states (``Japanese mode''
-and ``Latin-1 mode''), and two shift sequences that specify particular
-shift states.
-
-When the multibyte character code in use has shift states, then
-@code{mblen}, @code{mbtowc} and @code{wctomb} must maintain and update
-the current shift state as they scan the string.  To make this work
-properly, you must follow these rules:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-Before starting to scan a string, call the function with a null pointer
-for the multibyte character address---for example, @code{mblen (NULL,
-0)}.  This initializes the shift state to its standard initial value.
-
-@item
-Scan the string one character at a time, in order.  Do not ``back up''
-and rescan characters already scanned, and do not intersperse the
-processing of different strings.
-@end itemize
-
-Here is an example of using @code{mblen} following these rules:
-
-@smallexample
-void
-scan_string (char *s)
-@{
-  int length = strlen (s);
-
-  /* @r{Initialize shift state.} */
-  mblen (NULL, 0);
-
-  while (1)
-    @{
-      int thischar = mblen (s, length);
-      /* @r{Deal with end of string and invalid characters.} */
-      if (thischar == 0)
-        break;
-      if (thischar == -1)
-        @{
-          error ("invalid multibyte character");
-          break;
-        @}
-      /* @r{Advance past this character.} */
-      s += thischar;
-      length -= thischar;
-    @}
-@}
-@end smallexample
-
-The functions @code{mblen}, @code{mbtowc} and @code{wctomb} are not
-reentrant when using a multibyte code that uses a shift state.  However,
-no other library functions call these functions, so you don't have to
-worry that the shift state will be changed mysteriously.
