They are presumed to be Unicode +code points, but that is not strictly REQUIRED. The array +contains code points, not code units. UTF-16 uses code units +D800 through DFFF to refer to code points 10000..10FFFF. The +code points D800..DFFF do not occur in any valid Unicode string. +The code points that can occur in Unicode strings (0..D7FF and +E000..10FFFF) are also called Unicode scalar values. + +@var{case_flags}: A @code{NULL} pointer or an array of boolean values parallel +to the @code{input} array. Nonzero (true, flagged) suggests that the +corresponding Unicode character be forced to uppercase after +being decoded (if possible), and zero (false, unflagged) suggests +that it be forced to lowercase (if possible). ASCII code points +(0..7F) are encoded literally, except that ASCII letters are +forced to uppercase or lowercase according to the corresponding +case flags. If @code{case_flags} is a @code{NULL} pointer then ASCII letters +are left as they are, and other code points are treated as +unflagged. + +@var{output_length}: The caller passes in the maximum number of ASCII +code points that it can receive. On successful return it will +contain the number of ASCII code points actually output. + +@var{output}: An array of ASCII code points. It is *not* +null-terminated; it will contain zeros if and only if the @code{input} +contains zeros. (Of course the caller can leave room for a +terminator and add one if needed.) + +Converts a sequence of code points (presumed to be Unicode code +points) to Punycode. + +@strong{Return value:} The return value can be any of the @code{Punycode_status} +values defined above except @code{PUNYCODE_BAD_INPUT}.
