Libidn's purpose is to encode and decode internationalized domain names. The native C, C# and Java libraries are available under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 or later (*note GNU LGPL::). The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation. Profiles for Nameprep, iSCSI, SASL, XMPP and Kerberos V5 are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA are supported. A mechanism to define Top-Level Domain (TLD) specific validation tables, and to compare strings against those tables, is included. Default tables for some TLDs are also included. The Stringprep API consists of two main functions, one for converting data from the system's native representation into UTF-8, and one function to perform the Stringprep processing. Adding a new Stringprep profile for your application within the API is straightforward. The Punycode API consists of one encoding function and one decoding function. The IDNA API consists of the ToASCII and ToUnicode functions, as well as an high-level interface for converting entire domain names to and from the ACE encoded form. The TLD API consists of one set of functions to extract the TLD name from a domain string, one set of functions to locate the proper TLD table to use based on the TLD name, and core functions to validate a string against a TLD table, and some utility wrappers to perform all the steps in one call. The library is used by, e.g., GNU SASL and Shishi to process user names and passwords. Libidn can be built into GNU Libc to enable a new system-wide getaddrinfo flag for IDN processing. Libidn is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20 Unix platforms (including Solaris, IRIX, AIX, and Tru64) and Windows. The library is written in C and (parts of) the API is also accessible from C++, Emacs Lisp, Python and Java. A native Java and C# port is included. Also included is a command line tool, several self tests, code examples, and more, all licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.0 or later (*note GNU GPL::). * Menu: * Getting Started:: * Features:: * Library Overview:: * Supported Platforms:: * Getting help:: * Commercial Support:: * Downloading and Installing:: * Bug Reports:: * Contributing::  File: libidn.info, Node: Getting Started, Next: Features, Up: Introduction 1.1 Getting Started =================== This manual documents the library programming interface. All functions and data types provided by the library are explained. Included are also examples, and documentation for the command line tool `idn' that provide a quick interface to the library. The Emacs Lisp bindings for the library is also discussed. The reader is assumed to possess basic familiarity with internationalization concepts and network programming in C or C++. This manual can be used in several ways. If read from the beginning to the end, it gives a good introduction into the library and how it can be used in an application. Forward references are included where necessary. Later on, the manual can be used as a reference manual to get just the information needed about any particular interface of the library. Experienced programmers might want to start looking at the examples at the end of the manual (*note Examples::), and then only read up those parts of the interface which are unclear.  File: libidn.info, Node: Features, Next: Library Overview, Prev: Getting Started, Up: Introduction 1.2 Features ============ This library might have a couple of advantages over other libraries doing a similar job. It's Free Software Anybody can use, modify, and redistribute it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 or later (*note GNU LGPL::). It's thread-safe No global state is kept in the library. All functions are reentrant. It's portable The code is intended to be written in pure ANSI C89. It has been tested on many Unix like operating systems, and Windows. It's modularized The library is composed of several modules, and the only interaction between modules is through each modules' public API. If you only need one piece of functionality, it is possible to take the files you need and incorporate them into your own project. It's not bloated The design of the library is based on the smallest API necessary to implement the basic functionality. It has been carefully extended with a small number of high-level wrappers to make it comfortable to use the library. However, it does not implement additional functionality just for the sake of completeness. It's documented Sadly, not all software comes with documentation these days. This one does.  File: libidn.info, Node: Library Overview, Next: Supported Platforms, Prev: Features, Up: Introduction 1.3 Library Overview ==================== The following illustration show the components that make up Libidn, and how your application relates to the library. In the illustration, various components are shown as boxes. You see the generic StringPrep component, the various StringPrep profiles including Nameprep, the Punycode component, the IDNA component, and the TLD component. The arrows indicate aggregation, e.g., IDNA uses Punycode and Nameprep, and in turn Nameprep uses the generic StringPrep interface. The interfaces to all components are available for applications, no component within the library is hidden from the application.

File: libidn.info, Node: Getting help, Next: Commercial Support, Prev: Supported Platforms, Up: Introduction 1.5 Getting help ================ A mailing list where users of Libidn may help each other exists, and you can reach it by sending e-mail to . Archives of the mailing list discussions, and an interface to manage subscriptions, is available through the World Wide Web at `http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-libidn'.  File: libidn.info, Node: Commercial Support, Next: Downloading and Installing, Prev: Getting help, Up: Introduction 1.6 Commercial Support ====================== Commercial support is available for users of GNU Libidn. The kind of support that can be purchased may include: * Implement new features. Such as country code specific profiling to support a restricted subset of Unicode. * Port Libidn to new platforms. This could include porting Libidn to an embedded platforms that may need memory or size optimization. * Integrating IDN support in your existing project. * System design of components related to IDN. If you are interested, please write to: Simon Josefsson Datakonsult Hagagatan 24 113 47 Stockholm Sweden E-mail: simon@josefsson.org If your company provide support related to GNU Libidn and would like to be mentioned here, contact the author (*note Bug Reports::).  File: libidn.info, Node: Downloading and Installing, Next: Bug Reports, Prev: Commercial Support, Up: Introduction 1.7 Downloading and Installing ============================== The package can be downloaded from several places, including: `ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libidn/' The latest version is stored in a file, e.g., `libidn-1.15.tar.gz' where the `1.15' value is the highest version number in the directory. The package is then extracted, configured and built like many other packages that use Autoconf. For detailed information on configuring and building it, refer to the `INSTALL' file that is part of the distribution archive. Here is an example terminal session that download, configure, build and install the package. You will need a few basic tools, such as `sh', `make' and `cc'. $ wget -q ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libidn/libidn-1.15.tar.gz $ tar xfz libidn-1.15.tar.gz $ cd libidn-1.15/ $ ./configure ... $ make ... $ make install ... After that Libidn should be properly installed and ready for use. A few `configure' options may be relevant, summarized in the table. `--enable-java' Build the Java port into a *.JAR file. *Note Java API::, for more information. `--disable-tld' Disable the TLD module. This would typically only be useful if you are building on a memory restricted platforms. *Note TLD Functions::, for more information. `--enable-csharp[=IMPL]' Build the `C#' port into a `*.DLL' file. *Note C# API::, for more information. Here, `IMPL' is `pnet' or `mono', indicating whether the PNET `cscc' compiler or the Mono `mcs' compiler should be used, respectively. For the complete list, refer to the output from `configure --help'. * Menu: * Installing under Windows:: Windows specific build instructions.  File: libidn.info, Node: Installing under Windows, Up: Downloading and Installing 1.7.1 Installing under Windows ------------------------------ There are two ways to build Libidn on Windows: via MinGW or via Visual Studio. With MinGW, you can build a Libidn DLL and use it from other applications. After installing MinGW (`http://mingw.org/') follow the generic installation instructions (*note Downloading and Installing::). The DLL is installed by default. For information on how to use the DLL in other applications, see: `http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-msvcdll'. You can build Libidn as a native Visual Studio C++ project. This allows you to build the code for other platforms that VS supports, such as Windows Mobile. You need Visual Studio 2005 or later. First download and unpack the archive as described in the generic installation instructions (*note Downloading and Installing::). Don't run `./configure'. Instead, start Visual Studio and open the project file `win32/libidn.sln' inside the Libidn directory. You should be able to build the project using Build Project. Output libraries will be written into the `win32/lib' (or `win32/lib/debug' for Debug versions) folder. When working with Windows you may want to look into the special memory handling functions that may be needed (*note Memory handling under Windows::).  File: libidn.info, Node: Bug Reports, Next: Contributing, Prev: Downloading and Installing, Up: Introduction 1.8 Bug Reports =============== If you think you have found a bug in Libidn, please investigate it and report it. * Please make sure that the bug is really in Libidn, and preferably also check that it hasn't already been fixed in the latest version. * You have to send us a test case that makes it possible for us to reproduce the bug. * You also have to explain what is wrong; if you get a crash, or if the results printed are not good and in that case, in what way. Make sure that the bug report includes all information you would need to fix this kind of bug for someone else. Please make an effort to produce a self-contained report, with something definite that can be tested or debugged. Vague queries or piecemeal messages are difficult to act on and don't help the development effort. If your bug report is good, we will do our best to help you to get a corrected version of the software; if the bug report is poor, we won't do anything about it (apart from asking you to send better bug reports). If you think something in this manual is unclear, or downright incorrect, or if the language needs to be improved, please also send a note. Send your bug report to: `bug-libidn@gnu.org'  File: libidn.info, Node: Contributing, Prev: Bug Reports, Up: Introduction 1.9 Contributing ================ If you want to submit a patch for inclusion - from solve a typo you discovered, up to adding support for a new feature - you should submit it as a bug report (*note Bug Reports::). There are some things that you can do to increase the chances for it to be included in the official package. Unless your patch is very small (say, under 10 lines) we require that you assign the copyright of your work to the Free Software Foundation. This is to protect the freedom of the project. If you have not already signed papers, we will send you the necessary information when you submit your contribution. For contributions that doesn't consist of actual programming code, the only guidelines are common sense. Use it. For code contributions, a number of style guides will help you: * Coding Style. Follow the GNU Standards document (*note GNU Coding Standards: (standards)top.). If you normally code using another coding standard, there is no problem, but you should use `indent' to reformat the code (*note GNU Indent: (indent)top.) before submitting your work. * Use the unified diff format `diff -u'. * Return errors. No reason whatsoever should abort the execution of the library. Even memory allocation errors, e.g. when malloc return NULL, should work although result in an error code. * Design with thread safety in mind. Don't use global variables and the like. * Avoid using the C math library. It causes problems for embedded implementations, and in most situations it is very easy to avoid using it. * Document your functions. Use comments before each function headers, that, if properly formatted, are extracted into GTK-DOC web pages. Don't forget to update the Texinfo manual as well. * Supply a ChangeLog and NEWS entries, where appropriate.  File: libidn.info, Node: Preparation, Next: Utility Functions, Prev: Introduction, Up: Top 2 Preparation ************* To use `Libidn', you have to perform some changes to your sources and the build system. The necessary changes are small and explained in the following sections. At the end of this chapter, it is described how the library is initialized, and how the requirements of the library are verified. A faster way to find out how to adapt your application for use with `Libidn' may be to look at the examples at the end of this manual (*note Examples::). * Menu: * Header:: * Initialization:: * Version Check:: * Building the source:: * Autoconf tests:: * Memory handling under Windows::  File: libidn.info, Node: Header, Next: Initialization, Up: Preparation 2.1 Header ========== The library contains a few independent parts, and each part export the interfaces (data types and functions) in a header file. You must include the appropriate header files in all programs using the library, either directly or through some other header file, like this: #include The header files and the functions they define are categorized as follows: stringprep.h The low-level stringprep API entry point. For IDN applications, this is usually invoked via IDNA. Some applications, specifically non-IDN ones, may want to prepare strings directly though, and should include this header file. The name space of the stringprep part of Libidn is `stringprep*' for function names, `Stringprep*' for data types and `STRINGPREP_*' for other symbols. In addition, `_stringprep*' is reserved for internal use and should never be used by applications. punycode.h The entry point to Punycode encoding and decoding functions. Normally punycode is used via the idna.h interface, but some application may want to perform raw punycode operations. The name space of the punycode part of Libidn is `punycode_*' for function names, `Punycode*' for data types and `PUNYCODE_*' for other symbols. In addition, `_punycode*' is reserved for internal use and should never be used by applications. idna.h The entry point to the IDNA functions. This is the normal entry point for applications that need IDN functionality. The name space of the IDNA part of Libidn is `idna_*' for function names, `Idna*' for data types and `IDNA_*' for other symbols. In addition, `_idna*' is reserved for internal use and should never be used by applications. tld.h The entry point to the TLD functions. Normal applications are not expected to need this functionality, but it is present for applications that are used by TLDs to validate customer input. The name space of the TLD part of Libidn is `tld_*' for function names, `Tld_*' for data types and `TLD_*' for other symbols. In addition, `_tld*' is reserved for internal use and should never be used by applications. pr29.h The entry point to the PR29 functions. These functions are used to detect "problem sequences" (*note PR29 Functions::), mostly for use in security critical applications. The name space of the PR29 part of Libidn is `pr29_*' for function names, `Pr29_*' for data types and `PR29_*' for other symbols. In addition, `_pr29*' is reserved for internal use and should never be used by applications. idn-free.h The entry point to the Windows memory de-allocation function (*note Memory handling under Windows::). It contains only one function `idn_free'. All header files defined and use the symbol `IDNAPI' to decorate the API functions.  File: libidn.info, Node: Initialization, Next: Version Check, Prev: Header, Up: Preparation 2.2 Initialization ================== Libidn is stateless and does not need any initialization.  File: libidn.info, Node: Version Check, Next: Building the source, Prev: Initialization, Up: Preparation 2.3 Version Check ================= It is often desirable to check that the version of `Libidn' used is indeed one which fits all requirements. Even with binary compatibility new features may have been introduced but due to problem with the dynamic linker an old version is actually used. So you may want to check that the version is okay right after program startup. stringprep_check_version ------------------------ -- Function: const char * stringprep_check_version (const char * REQ_VERSION) REQ_VERSION: Required version number, or NULL. Check that the version of the library is at minimum the requested one and return the version string; return NULL if the condition is not satisfied. If a NULL is passed to this function, no check is done, but the version string is simply returned. See `STRINGPREP_VERSION' for a suitable `req_version' string. *Return value:* Version string of run-time library, or NULL if the run-time library does not meet the required version number. The normal way to use the function is to put something similar to the following first in your `main': if (!stringprep_check_version (STRINGPREP_VERSION)) { printf ("stringprep_check_version() failed:\n" "Header file incompatible with shared library.\n"); exit(1); }  File: libidn.info, Node: Building the source, Next: Autoconf tests, Prev: Version Check, Up: Preparation 2.4 Building the source ======================= If you want to compile a source file including e.g. the `idna.h' header file, you must make sure that the compiler can find it in the directory hierarchy. This is accomplished by adding the path to the directory in which the header file is located to the compilers include file search path (via the `-I' option). However, the path to the include file is determined at the time the source is configured. To solve this problem, `Libidn' uses the external package `pkg-config' that knows the path to the include file and other configuration options. The options that need to be added to the compiler invocation at compile time are output by the `--cflags' option to `pkg-config libidn'. The following example shows how it can be used at the command line: gcc -c foo.c `pkg-config libidn --cflags` Adding the output of `pkg-config libidn --cflags' to the compilers command line will ensure that the compiler can find e.g. the idna.h header file. A similar problem occurs when linking the program with the library. Again, the compiler has to find the library files. For this to work, the path to the library files has to be added to the library search path (via the `-L' option). For this, the option `--libs' to `pkg-config libidn' can be used. For convenience, this option also outputs all other options that are required to link the program with the `libidn' libarary. The example shows how to link `foo.o' with the `libidn' library to a program `foo'. gcc -o foo foo.o `pkg-config libidn --libs` Of course you can also combine both examples to a single command by specifying both options to `pkg-config': gcc -o foo foo.c `pkg-config libidn --cflags --libs`  File: libidn.info, Node: Autoconf tests, Next: Memory handling under Windows, Prev: Building the source, Up: Preparation 2.5 Autoconf tests ================== If your project uses Autoconf (*note GNU Autoconf: (autoconf)top.) to check for installed libraries, you might find the following snippet illustrative. It add a new `configure' parameter `--with-libidn', and check for `idna.h' and `-lidn' (possibly below the directory specified as the optional argument to `--with-libidn'), and define the CPP symbol `LIBIDN' if the library is found. The default behaviour is to search for the library and enable the functionality (that is, define the symbol) when the library is found, but if you wish to make the default behaviour of your package be that Libidn is not used (even if it is installed on the system), change `libidn=yes' to `libidn=no' on the third line. AC_ARG_WITH(libidn, AC_HELP_STRING([--with-libidn=[DIR]], [Support IDN (needs GNU Libidn)]), libidn=$withval, libidn=yes) if test "$libidn" != "no"; then if test "$libidn" != "yes"; then LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L$libidn/lib" CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS} -I$libidn/include" fi AC_CHECK_HEADER(idna.h, AC_CHECK_LIB(idn, stringprep_check_version, [libidn=yes LIBS="${LIBS} -lidn"], libidn=no), libidn=no) fi if test "$libidn" != "no" ; then AC_DEFINE(LIBIDN, 1, [Define to 1 if you want IDN support.]) else AC_MSG_WARN([Libidn not found]) fi AC_MSG_CHECKING([if Libidn should be used]) AC_MSG_RESULT($libidn) If you require that your users have installed `pkg-config' (which I cannot recommend generally), the above can be done more easily as follows. AC_ARG_WITH(libidn, AC_HELP_STRING([--with-libidn=[DIR]], [Support IDN (needs GNU Libidn)]), libidn=$withval, libidn=yes) if test "$libidn" != "no" ; then PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBIDN, libidn >= 0.0.0, [libidn=yes], [libidn=no]) if test "$libidn" != "yes" ; then libidn=no AC_MSG_WARN([Libidn not found]) else libidn=yes AC_DEFINE(LIBIDN, 1, [Define to 1 if you want Libidn.]) fi fi AC_MSG_CHECKING([if Libidn should be used]) AC_MSG_RESULT($libidn)  File: libidn.info, Node: Memory handling under Windows, Prev: Autoconf tests, Up: Preparation 2.6 Memory handling under Windows ================================= Several functions in the library allocates memory. The memory is expected to be de-allocated using the `free' function. Under Windows, it is sometimes necessary to de-allocate memory in the same module that allocated a memory region. The reason is that different modules use separate heap memory regions. To solve this problem we provide a function to de-allocate memory inside the library. Note that we do not recommend using this interface generally if you do not care about Windows portability. 2.7 Header file `idn-free.h' ============================ To use the function explained in this chapter, you need to include the file `idn-free.h' using: #include 2.8 Memory de-allocation function ================================= idn_free -------- -- Function: void idn_free (void * PTR) PTR: memory region to deallocate, or `NULL'. Deallocates memory region by calling `free()'. If `ptr' is `NULL' no operation is performed. Normally applications de-allocate strings allocated by libidn by calling `free()' directly. Under Windows, different parts of the same application may use different heap memory, and then it is important to deallocate memory allocated within the same module that allocated it. This function makes that possible.  File: libidn.info, Node: Utility Functions, Next: Stringprep Functions, Prev: Preparation, Up: Top 3 Utility Functions ******************* The rest of this library makes extensive use of Unicode characters. In order to interface this library with the outside world, your application may need to make various Unicode transformations. 3.1 Header file `stringprep.h' ============================== To use the functions explained in this chapter, you need to include the file `stringprep.h' using: #include 3.2 Unicode Encoding Transformation =================================== stringprep_unichar_to_utf8 -------------------------- -- Function: int stringprep_unichar_to_utf8 (uint32_t C, char * OUTBUF) C: a ISO10646 character code OUTBUF: output buffer, must have at least 6 bytes of space. If `NULL', the length will be computed and returned and nothing will be written to `outbuf'. Converts a single character to UTF-8. *Return value:* number of bytes written. stringprep_utf8_to_unichar -------------------------- -- Function: uint32_t stringprep_utf8_to_unichar (const char * P) P: a pointer to Unicode character encoded as UTF-8 Converts a sequence of bytes encoded as UTF-8 to a Unicode character. If `p' does not point to a valid UTF-8 encoded character, results are undefined. *Return value:* the resulting character. stringprep_ucs4_to_utf8 ----------------------- -- Function: char * stringprep_ucs4_to_utf8 (const uint32_t * STR, ssize_t LEN, size_t * ITEMS_READ, size_t * ITEMS_WRITTEN) STR: a UCS-4 encoded string LEN: the maximum length of `str' to use. If `len' < 0, then the string is terminated with a 0 character. ITEMS_READ: location to store number of characters read read, or `NULL'. ITEMS_WRITTEN: location to store number of bytes written or `NULL'. The value here stored does not include the trailing 0 byte. Convert a string from a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4. to UTF-8. The result will be terminated with a 0 byte. *Return value:* a pointer to a newly allocated UTF-8 string. This value must be deallocated by the caller. If an error occurs, `NULL' will be returned and `error' set. stringprep_utf8_to_ucs4 ----------------------- -- Function: uint32_t * stringprep_utf8_to_ucs4 (const char * STR, ssize_t LEN, size_t * ITEMS_WRITTEN) STR: a UTF-8 encoded string LEN: the maximum length of `str' to use. If `len' < 0, then the string is nul-terminated. ITEMS_WRITTEN: location to store the number of characters in the result, or `NULL'. Convert a string from UTF-8 to a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4, assuming valid UTF-8 input. This function does no error checking on the input. *Return value:* a pointer to a newly allocated UCS-4 string. This value must be deallocated by the caller. 3.3 Unicode Normalization ========================= stringprep_ucs4_nfkc_normalize ------------------------------ -- Function: uint32_t * stringprep_ucs4_nfkc_normalize (uint32_t * STR, ssize_t LEN) STR: a Unicode string. LEN: length of `str' array, or -1 if `str' is nul-terminated. Converts UCS4 string into UTF-8 and runs `stringprep_utf8_nfkc_normalize()'. *Return value:* a newly allocated Unicode string, that is the NFKC normalized form of `str'. stringprep_utf8_nfkc_normalize ------------------------------ -- Function: char * stringprep_utf8_nfkc_normalize (const char * STR, ssize_t LEN) STR: a UTF-8 encoded string. LEN: length of `str', in bytes, or -1 if `str' is nul-terminated. Converts a string into canonical form, standardizing such issues as whether a character with an accent is represented as a base character and combining accent or as a single precomposed character. The normalization mode is NFKC (ALL COMPOSE). It standardizes differences that do not affect the text content, such as the above-mentioned accent representation. It standardizes the "compatibility" characters in Unicode, such as SUPERSCRIPT THREE to the standard forms (in this case DIGIT THREE). Formatting information may be lost but for most text operations such characters should be considered the same. It returns a result with composed forms rather than a maximally decomposed form. *Return value:* a newly allocated string, that is the NFKC normalized form of `str'. 3.4 Character Set Conversion ============================ stringprep_locale_charset ------------------------- -- Function: const char * stringprep_locale_charset ( VOID) Find out current locale charset. The function respect the CHARSET environment variable, but typically uses nl_langinfo(CODESET) when it is supported. It fall back on "ASCII" if CHARSET isn't set and nl_langinfo isn't supported or return anything. Note that this function return the application's locale's preferred charset (or thread's locale's preffered charset, if your system support thread-specific locales). It does not return what the system may be using. Thus, if you receive data from external sources you cannot in general use this function to guess what charset it is encoded in. Use stringprep_convert from the external representation into the charset returned by this function, to have data in the locale encoding. *Return value:* Return the character set used by the current locale. It will never return NULL, but use "ASCII" as a fallback. stringprep_convert ------------------ -- Function: char * stringprep_convert (const char * STR, const char * TO_CODESET, const char * FROM_CODESET) STR: input zero-terminated string. TO_CODESET: name of destination character set. FROM_CODESET: name of origin character set, as used by `str'. Convert the string from one character set to another using the system's `iconv()' function. *Return value:* Returns newly allocated zero-terminated string which is `str' transcoded into to_codeset. stringprep_locale_to_utf8 ------------------------- -- Function: char * stringprep_locale_to_utf8 (const char * STR) STR: input zero terminated string. Convert string encoded in the locale's character set into UTF-8 by using `stringprep_convert()'. *Return value:* Returns newly allocated zero-terminated string which is `str' transcoded into UTF-8. stringprep_utf8_to_locale ------------------------- -- Function: char * stringprep_utf8_to_locale (const char * STR) STR: input zero terminated string. Convert string encoded in UTF-8 into the locale's character set by using `stringprep_convert()'. *Return value:* Returns newly allocated zero-terminated string which is `str' transcoded into the locale's character set.  File: libidn.info, Node: Stringprep Functions, Next: Punycode Functions, Prev: Utility Functions, Up: Top 4 Stringprep Functions ********************** Stringprep describes a framework for preparing Unicode text strings in order to increase the likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users throughout the world. The stringprep protocol is useful for protocol identifier values, company and personal names, internationalized domain names, and other text strings. 4.1 Header file `stringprep.h' ============================== To use the functions explained in this chapter, you need to include the file `stringprep.h' using: #include 4.2 Defining A Stringprep Profile ================================= Further types and structures are defined for applications that want to specify their own stringprep profile. As these are fairly obscure, and by necessity tied to the implementation, we do not document them here. Look into the `stringprep.h' header file, and the `profiles.c' source code for the details. 4.3 Control Flags ================= -- Stringprep flags: Stringprep_profile_flags STRINGPREP_NO_NFKC Disable the NFKC normalization, as well as selecting the non-NFKC case folding tables. Usually the profile specifies BIDI and NFKC settings, and applications should not override it unless in special situations. -- Stringprep flags: Stringprep_profile_flags STRINGPREP_NO_BIDI Disable the BIDI step. Usually the profile specifies BIDI and NFKC settings, and applications should not override it unless in special situations. -- Stringprep flags: Stringprep_profile_flags STRINGPREP_NO_UNASSIGNED Make the library return with an error if string contains unassigned characters according to profile. 4.4 Core Functions ================== stringprep_4i ------------- -- Function: int stringprep_4i (uint32_t * UCS4, size_t * LEN, size_t MAXUCS4LEN, Stringprep_profile_flags FLAGS, const Stringprep_profile * PROFILE) UCS4: input/output array with string to prepare. LEN: on input, length of input array with Unicode code points, on exit, length of output array with Unicode code points. MAXUCS4LEN: maximum length of input/output array. FLAGS: a `Stringprep_profile_flags' value, or 0. PROFILE: pointer to `Stringprep_profile' to use. Prepare the input UCS-4 string according to the stringprep profile, and write back the result to the input string. The input is not required to be zero terminated (`ucs4'[`len'] = 0). The output will not be zero terminated unless `ucs4'[`len'] = 0. Instead, see `stringprep_4zi()' if your input is zero terminated or if you want the output to be. Since the stringprep operation can expand the string, `maxucs4len' indicate how large the buffer holding the string is. This function will not read or write to code points outside that size. The `flags' are one of `Stringprep_profile_flags' values, or 0. The `profile' contain the `Stringprep_profile' instructions to perform. Your application can define new profiles, possibly re-using the generic stringprep tables that always will be part of the library, or use one of the currently supported profiles. *Return value:* Returns `STRINGPREP_OK' iff successful, or an `Stringprep_rc' error code. stringprep_4zi -------------- -- Function: int stringprep_4zi (uint32_t * UCS4, size_t MAXUCS4LEN, Stringprep_profile_flags FLAGS, const Stringprep_profile * PROFILE) UCS4: input/output array with zero terminated string to prepare. MAXUCS4LEN: maximum length of input/output array. FLAGS: a `Stringprep_profile_flags' value, or 0. PROFILE: pointer to `Stringprep_profile' to use. Prepare the input zero terminated UCS-4 string according to the stringprep profile, and write back the result to the input string. Since the stringprep operation can expand the string, `maxucs4len' indicate how large the buffer holding the string is. This function will not read or write to code points outside that size. The `flags' are one of `Stringprep_profile_flags' values, or 0. The `profile' contain the `Stringprep_profile' instructions to perform. Your application can define new profiles, possibly re-using the generic stringprep tables that always will be part of the library, or use one of the currently supported profiles. *Return value:* Returns `STRINGPREP_OK' iff successful, or an `Stringprep_rc' error code. stringprep ---------- -- Function: int stringprep (char * IN, size_t MAXLEN, Stringprep_profile_flags FLAGS, const Stringprep_profile * PROFILE) IN: input/ouput array with string to prepare. MAXLEN: maximum length of input/output array. FLAGS: a `Stringprep_profile_flags' value, or 0. PROFILE: pointer to `Stringprep_profile' to use. Prepare the input zero terminated UTF-8 string according to the stringprep profile, and write back the result to the input string. Note that you must convert strings entered in the systems locale into UTF-8 before using this function, see `stringprep_locale_to_utf8()'. Since the stringprep operation can expand the string, `maxlen' indicate how large the buffer holding the string is. This function will not read or write to characters outside that size. The `flags' are one of `Stringprep_profile_flags' values, or 0. The `profile' contain the `Stringprep_profile' instructions to perform. Your application can define new profiles, possibly re-using the generic stringprep tables that always will be part of the library, or use one of the currently supported profiles. *Return value:* Returns `STRINGPREP_OK' iff successful, or an error code. stringprep_profile ------------------ -- Function: int stringprep_profile (const char * IN, char ** OUT, const char * PROFILE, Stringprep_profile_flags FLAGS) IN: input array with UTF-8 string to prepare. OUT: output variable with pointer to newly allocate string. PROFILE: name of stringprep profile to use. FLAGS: a `Stringprep_profile_flags' value, or 0. Prepare the input zero terminated UTF-8 string according to the stringprep profile, and return the result in a newly allocated variable. Note that you must convert strings entered in the systems locale into UTF-8 before using this function, see `stringprep_locale_to_utf8()'. The output `out' variable must be deallocated by the caller. The `flags' are one of `Stringprep_profile_flags' values, or 0. The `profile' specifies the name of the stringprep profile to use. It must be one of the internally supported stringprep profiles. *Return value:* Returns `STRINGPREP_OK' iff successful, or an error code. 4.5 Error Handling ================== stringprep_strerror ------------------- -- Function: const char * stringprep_strerror (Stringprep_rc RC) RC: a `Stringprep_rc' return code. Convert a return code integer to a text string. This string can be used to output a diagnostic message to the user. *STRINGPREP_OK:* Successful operation. This value is guaranteed to always be zero, the remaining ones are only guaranteed to hold non-zero values, for logical comparison purposes. *STRINGPREP_CONTAINS_UNASSIGNED:* String contain unassigned Unicode code points, which is forbidden by the profile. *STRINGPREP_CONTAINS_PROHIBITED:* String contain code points prohibited by the profile. *STRINGPREP_BIDI_BOTH_L_AND_RAL:* String contain code points with conflicting bidirection category. *STRINGPREP_BIDI_LEADTRAIL_NOT_RAL:* Leading and trailing character in string not of proper bidirectional category. *STRINGPREP_BIDI_CONTAINS_PROHIBITED:* Contains prohibited code points detected by bidirectional code. *STRINGPREP_TOO_SMALL_BUFFER:* Buffer handed to function was too small. This usually indicate a problem in the calling application. *STRINGPREP_PROFILE_ERROR:* The stringprep profile was inconsistent. This usually indicate an internal error in the library. *STRINGPREP_FLAG_ERROR:* The supplied flag conflicted with profile. This usually indicate a problem in the calling application. *STRINGPREP_UNKNOWN_PROFILE:* The supplied profile name was not known to the library. *STRINGPREP_NFKC_FAILED:* The Unicode NFKC operation failed. This usually indicate an internal error in the library. *STRINGPREP_MALLOC_ERROR:* The `malloc()' was out of memory. This is usually a fatal error. *Return value:* Returns a pointer to a statically allocated string containing a description of the error with the return code `rc'. 4.6 Stringprep Profile Macros ============================= -- Function: int stringprep_nameprep_no_unassigned (char * IN, int MAXLEN) IN: input/ouput array with string to prepare. MAXLEN: maximum length of input/output array. Prepare the input UTF-8 string according to the nameprep profile. The AllowUnassigned flag is false, use `stringprep_nameprep' for true AllowUnassigned. Returns 0 iff successful, or an error code. -- Function: int stringprep_iscsi (char * IN, int MAXLEN) IN: input/ouput array with string to prepare. MAXLEN: maximum length of input/output array. Prepare the input UTF-8 string according to the draft iSCSI stringprep profile. Returns 0 iff successful, or an error code. -- Function: int stringprep_plain (char * IN, int MAXLEN) IN: input/ouput array with string to prepare. MAXLEN: maximum length of input/output array.

File: libidn.info, Node: Punycode Functions, Next: IDNA Functions, Prev: Stringprep Functions, Up: Top 5 Punycode Functions ******************** Punycode is a simple and efficient transfer encoding syntax designed for use with Internationalized Domain Names in Applications. It uniquely and reversibly transforms a Unicode string into an ASCII string. ASCII characters in the Unicode string are represented literally, and non-ASCII characters are represented by ASCII characters that are allowed in host name labels (letters, digits, and hyphens). A general algorithm called Bootstring allows a string of basic code points to uniquely represent any string of code points drawn from a larger set. Punycode is an instance of Bootstring that uses particular parameter values, appropriate for IDNA. 5.1 Header file `punycode.h' ============================ To use the functions explained in this chapter, you need to include the file `punycode.h' using: #include 5.2 Unicode Code Point Data Type ================================ The punycode function uses a special type to denote Unicode code points. It is guaranteed to always be a 32 bit unsigned integer. -- Punycode Unicode code point: uint32_t punycode_uint A unsigned integer that hold Unicode code points. 5.3 Core Functions ================== Note that the current implementation will fail if the `input_length' exceed 4294967295 (the size of `punycode_uint'). This restriction may be removed in the future. Meanwhile applications are encouraged to not depend on this problem, and use `sizeof' to initialize `input_length' and `output_length'. The functions provided are the following two entry points: punycode_encode --------------- -- Function: int punycode_encode (size_t INPUT_LENGTH, const punycode_uint [] INPUT, const unsigned char [] CASE_FLAGS, size_t * OUTPUT_LENGTH, char [] OUTPUT) INPUT_LENGTH: The number of code points in the `input' array and the number of flags in the `case_flags' array. INPUT: An array of code points. 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. CASE_FLAGS: A `NULL' pointer or an array of boolean values parallel to the `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 `case_flags' is a `NULL' pointer then ASCII letters are left as they are, and other code points are treated as unflagged. 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. OUTPUT: An array of ASCII code points. It is *not* null-terminated; it will contain zeros if and only if the `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. *Return value:* The return value can be any of the `Punycode_status' values defined above except `PUNYCODE_BAD_INPUT'. If not `PUNYCODE_SUCCESS', then `output_size' and `output' might contain garbage. punycode_decode --------------- -- Function: int punycode_decode (size_t INPUT_LENGTH, const char [] INPUT, size_t * OUTPUT_LENGTH, punycode_uint [] OUTPUT, unsigned char [] CASE_FLAGS) INPUT_LENGTH: The number of ASCII code points in the `input' array. INPUT: An array of ASCII code points (0..7F). OUTPUT_LENGTH: The caller passes in the maximum number of code points that it can receive into the `output' array (which is also the maximum number of flags that it can receive into the `case_flags' array, if `case_flags' is not a `NULL' pointer). 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 `output_length' is greater than that. OUTPUT: An array of code points like the input argument of `punycode_encode()' (see above). CASE_FLAGS: A `NULL' pointer (if the flags are not needed by the caller) or an array of boolean values parallel to the `output' 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. Converts Punycode to a sequence of code points (presumed to be Unicode code points). *Return value:* The return value can be any of the `Punycode_status' values defined above. If not `PUNYCODE_SUCCESS', then `output_length', `output', and `case_flags' might contain garbage. 5.4 Error Handling ================== punycode_strerror ----------------- -- Function: const char * punycode_strerror (Punycode_status RC) RC: an `Punycode_status' return code. Convert a return code integer to a text string. This string can be used to output a diagnostic message to the user. *PUNYCODE_SUCCESS:* Successful operation. This value is guaranteed to always be zero, the remaining ones are only guaranteed to hold non-zero values, for logical comparison purposes. *PUNYCODE_BAD_INPUT:* Input is invalid. *PUNYCODE_BIG_OUTPUT:* Output would exceed the space provided. *PUNYCODE_OVERFLOW:* Input needs wider integers to process. *Return value:* Returns a pointer to a statically allocated string containing a description of the error with the return code `rc'.  File: libidn.info, Node: IDNA Functions, Next: TLD Functions, Prev: Punycode Functions, Up: Top 6 IDNA Functions **************** Until now, there has been no standard method for domain names to use characters outside the ASCII repertoire. The IDNA document defines internationalized domain names (IDNs) and a mechanism called IDNA for handling them in a standard fashion. IDNs use characters drawn from a large repertoire (Unicode), but IDNA allows the non-ASCII characters to be represented using only the ASCII characters already allowed in so-called host names today. This backward-compatible representation is required in existing protocols like DNS, so that IDNs can be introduced with no changes to the existing infrastructure. IDNA is only meant for processing domain names, not free text. 6.1 Header file `idna.h' ======================== To use the functions explained in this chapter, you need to include the file `idna.h' using: #include 6.2 Control Flags ================= The IDNA `flags' parameter can take on the following values, or a bit-wise inclusive or of any subset of the parameters: -- Return code: Idna_flags IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED Allow unassigned Unicode code points. -- Return code: Idna_flags IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES Check output to make sure it is a STD3 conforming host name. 6.3 Prefix String ================= -- Macro: #define IDNA_ACE_PREFIX String with the official IDNA prefix, `xn--'. 6.4 Core Functions ================== The idea behind the IDNA function names are as follows: the `idna_to_ascii_4i' and `idna_to_unicode_44i' functions are the core IDNA primitives. The `4' indicate that the function takes UCS-4 strings (i.e., Unicode code points encoded in a 32-bit unsigned integer type) of the specified length. The `i' indicate that the data is written "inline" into the buffer. This means the caller is responsible for allocating (and deallocating) the string, and providing the library with the allocated length of the string. The output length is written in the output length variable. The remaining functions all contain the `z' indicator, which means the strings are zero terminated. All output strings are allocated by the library, and must be deallocated by the caller. The `4' indicator again means that the string is UCS-4, the `8' means the strings are UTF-8 and the `l' indicator means the strings are encoded in the encoding used by the current locale. The functions provided are the following entry points: idna_to_ascii_4i ---------------- -- Function: int idna_to_ascii_4i (const uint32_t * IN, size_t INLEN, char * OUT, int FLAGS) IN: input array with unicode code points. INLEN: length of input array with unicode code points. OUT: output zero terminated string that must have room for at least 63 characters plus the terminating zero. FLAGS: an `Idna_flags' value, e.g., `IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED' or `IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES'. The ToASCII operation takes a sequence of Unicode code points that make up one domain label and transforms it into a sequence of code points in the ASCII range (0..7F). If ToASCII succeeds, the original sequence and the resulting sequence are equivalent labels. It is important to note that the ToASCII operation can fail. ToASCII fails if any step of it fails. If any step of the ToASCII operation fails on any label in a domain name, that domain name MUST NOT be used as an internationalized domain name. The method for deadling with this failure is application-specific. The inputs to ToASCII are a sequence of code points, the AllowUnassigned flag, and the UseSTD3ASCIIRules flag. The output of ToASCII is either a sequence of ASCII code points or a failure condition. ToASCII never alters a sequence of code points that are all in the ASCII range to begin with (although it could fail). Applying the ToASCII operation multiple times has exactly the same effect as applying it just once. *Return value:* Returns 0 on success, or an `Idna_rc' error code. idna_to_unicode_44i ------------------- -- Function: int idna_to_unicode_44i (const uint32_t * IN, size_t INLEN, uint32_t * OUT, size_t * OUTLEN, int FLAGS) IN: input array with unicode code points. INLEN: length of input array with unicode code points. OUT: output array with unicode code points. OUTLEN: on input, maximum size of output array with unicode code points, on exit, actual size of output array with unicode code points. FLAGS: an `Idna_flags' value, e.g., `IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED' or `IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES'. The ToUnicode operation takes a sequence of Unicode code points that make up one domain label and returns a sequence of Unicode code points. If the input sequence is a label in ACE form, then the result is an equivalent internationalized label that is not in ACE form, otherwise the original sequence is returned unaltered. ToUnicode never fails. If any step fails, then the original input sequence is returned immediately in that step. The Punycode decoder can never output more code points than it inputs, but Nameprep can, and therefore ToUnicode can. Note that the number of octets needed to represent a sequence of code points depends on the particular character encoding used. The inputs to ToUnicode are a sequence of code points, the AllowUnassigned flag, and the UseSTD3ASCIIRules flag. The output of ToUnicode is always a sequence of Unicode code points. *Return value:* Returns `Idna_rc' error condition, but it must only be used for debugging purposes. The output buffer is always guaranteed to contain the correct data according to the specification (sans malloc induced errors). NB! This means that you normally ignore the return code from this function, as checking it means breaking the standard. 6.5 Simplified ToASCII Interface ================================ idna_to_ascii_4z ---------------- -- Function: int idna_to_ascii_4z (const uint32_t * INPUT, char ** OUTPUT, int FLAGS) INPUT: zero terminated input Unicode string. OUTPUT: pointer to newly allocated output string. FLAGS: an `Idna_flags' value, e.g., `IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED' or `IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES'. Convert UCS-4 domain name to ASCII string. The domain name may contain several labels, separated by dots. The output buffer must be deallocated by the caller. *Return value:* Returns `IDNA_SUCCESS' on success, or error code. idna_to_ascii_8z ---------------- -- Function: int idna_to_ascii_8z (const char * INPUT, char ** OUTPUT, int FLAGS) INPUT: zero terminated input UTF-8 string. OUTPUT: pointer to newly allocated output string. FLAGS: an `Idna_flags' value, e.g., `IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED' or `IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES'. Convert UTF-8 domain name to ASCII string. The domain name may contain several labels, separated by dots. The output buffer must be deallocated by the caller. *Return value:* Returns `IDNA_SUCCESS' on success, or error code. idna_to_ascii_lz ---------------- -- Function: int idna_to_ascii_lz (const char * INPUT, char ** OUTPUT, int FLAGS) INPUT: zero terminated input string encoded in the current locale's character set. OUTPUT: pointer to newly allocated output string. FLAGS: an `Idna_flags' value, e.g., `IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED' or `IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES'. Convert domain name in the locale's encoding to ASCII string. The domain name may contain several labels, separated by dots. The output buffer must be deallocated by the caller. *Return value:* Returns `IDNA_SUCCESS' on success, or error code. 6.6 Simplified ToUnicode Interface ================================== idna_to_unicode_4z4z -------------------- -- Function: int idna_to_unicode_4z4z (const uint32_t * INPUT, uint32_t ** OUTPUT, int FLAGS) INPUT: zero-terminated Unicode string. OUTPUT: pointer to newly allocated output Unicode string. FLAGS: an `Idna_flags' value, e.g., `IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED' or `IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES'. Convert possibly ACE encoded domain name in UCS-4 format into a UCS-4 string. The domain name may contain several labels, separated by dots. The output buffer must be deallocated by the caller. *Return value:* Returns `IDNA_SUCCESS' on success, or error code. idna_to_unicode_8z4z -------------------- -- Function: int idna_to_unicode_8z4z (const char * INPUT, uint32_t ** OUTPUT, int FLAGS) INPUT: zero-terminated UTF-8 string. OUTPUT: pointer to newly allocated output Unicode string. FLAGS: an `Idna_flags' value, e.g., `IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED' or `IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES'. Convert possibly ACE encoded domain name in UTF-8 format into a UCS-4 string. The domain name may contain several labels, separated by dots. The output buffer must be deallocated by the caller. *Return value:* Returns `IDNA_SUCCESS' on success, or error code. idna_to_unicode_8z8z -------------------- -- Function: int idna_to_unicode_8z8z (const char * INPUT, char ** OUTPUT, int FLAGS) INPUT: zero-terminated UTF-8 string. OUTPUT: pointer to newly allocated output UTF-8 string. FLAGS: an `Idna_flags' value, e.g., `IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED' or `IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES'. Convert possibly ACE encoded domain name in UTF-8 format into a UTF-8 string. The domain name may contain several labels, separated by dots. The output buffer must be deallocated by the caller. *Return value:* Returns `IDNA_SUCCESS' on success, or error code. idna_to_unicode_8zlz -------------------- -- Function: int idna_to_unicode_8zlz (const char * INPUT, char ** OUTPUT, int FLAGS) INPUT: zero-terminated UTF-8 string. OUTPUT: pointer to newly allocated output string encoded in the current locale's character set. FLAGS: an `Idna_flags' value, e.g., `IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED' or `IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES'.

File: libidn.info, Node: TLD Functions, Next: PR29 Functions, Prev: IDNA Functions, Up: Top 7 TLD Functions *************** Organizations that manage some Top Level Domains (TLDs) have published tables with characters they accept within the domain. The reason may be to reduce complexity that come from using the full Unicode range, and to protect themselves from future (backwards incompatible) changes in the IDN or Unicode specifications. Libidn implement an infrastructure for defining and checking strings against such tables. Libidn also ship some tables from TLDs that we have managed to get permission to use them from. Because these tables are even less static than Unicode or StringPrep tables, it is likely that they will be updated from time to time (even in backwards incompatibe ways). The Libidn interface provide a "version" field for each TLD table, which can be compared for equality to guarantee the same operation over time. From a design point of view, you can regard the TLD tables for IDN as the "localization" step that come after the "internationalization" step provided by the IETF standards. The TLD functionality rely on up-to-date tables. The latest version of Libidn aim to provide these, but tables with unclear copying conditions, or generally experimental tables, are not included. Some such tables can be found at `http://tldchk.berlios.de'. 7.1 Header file `tld.h' ======================= To use the functions explained in this chapter, you need to include the file `tld.h' using: #include 7.2 Core Functions ================== tld_check_4t ------------ -- Function: int tld_check_4t (const uint32_t * IN, size_t INLEN, size_t * ERRPOS, const Tld_table * TLD) IN: Array of unicode code points to process.

File: libidn.info, Node: PR29 Functions, Next: Examples, Prev: TLD Functions, Up: Top 8 PR29 Functions **************** A deficiency in the specification of Unicode Normalization Forms has been found. The consequence is that some strings can be normalized into different strings by different implementations. In other words, two different implementations may return different output for the same input (because the interpretation of the specification is ambiguous). Further, an implementation invoked again on the one of the output strings may return a different string (because one of the interpretation of the ambiguous specification make normalization non-idempotent). Fortunately, only a select few character sequence exhibit this problem, and none of them are expected to occur in natural languages (due to different linguistic uses of the involved characters). A full discussion of the problem may be found at: `http://www.unicode.org/review/pr-29.html' The PR29 functions below allow you to detect the problem sequence. So when would you want to use these functions? For most applications, such as those using Nameprep for IDN, this is likely only to be an interoperability problem. Thus, you may not want to care about it, as the character sequences will rarely occur naturally. However, if you are using a profile, such as SASLPrep, to process authentication tokens; authorization tokens; or passwords, there is a real danger that attackers may try to use the peculiarities in these strings to attack parts of your system. As only a small number of strings, and no naturally occurring strings, exhibit this problem, the conservative approach of rejecting the strings is recommended. If this approach is not used, you should instead verify that all parts of your system, that process the tokens and passwords, use a NFKC implementation that produce the same output for the same input. Technically inclined readers may be interested in knowing more about the implementation aspects of the PR29 flaw. *Note PR29 discussion::. 8.1 Header file `pr29.h' ======================== To use the functions explained in this chapter, you need to include the file `pr29.h' using: #include 8.2 Core Functions ================== pr29_4 ------ -- Function: int pr29_4 (const uint32_t * IN, size_t LEN) IN: input array with unicode code points.

Check the input to see if it may be normalized into different strings by different NFKC implementations, due to an anomaly in the NFKC specifications. *Return value:* Returns the `Pr29_rc' value `PR29_SUCCESS' on success, and `PR29_PROBLEM' if the input sequence is a "problem sequence" (i.e., may be normalized into different strings by different implementations). pr29_8z ------- -- Function: int pr29_8z (const char * IN) IN: zero terminated input UTF-8 string. Check the input to see if it may be normalized into different strings by different NFKC implementations, due to an anomaly in the NFKC specifications. *Return value:* Returns the `Pr29_rc' value `PR29_SUCCESS' on success, and `PR29_PROBLEM' if the input sequence is a "problem sequence" (i.e., may be normalized into different strings by different implementations), or `PR29_STRINGPREP_ERROR' if there was a problem converting the string from UTF-8 to UCS-4. 8.4 Error Handling ================== pr29_strerror ------------- -- Function: const char * pr29_strerror (Pr29_rc RC) RC: an `Pr29_rc' return code. Convert a return code integer to a text string. This string can be used to output a diagnostic message to the user. *PR29_SUCCESS:* Successful operation.

If strings are specified on the command line, they are used as input and the computed output is printed to standard output `stdout'. If no strings are specified on the command line, the program read data, line by line, from the standard input `stdin', and print the computed output to standard output. What processing is performed (e.g., ToASCII, or Punycode encode) is indicated by options. If any errors are encountered, the execution of the applications is aborted. All strings are expected to be encoded in the preferred charset used by your locale. Use `--debug' to find out what this charset is. You can override the charset used by setting environment variable `CHARSET'. To process a string that starts with `-', for example `-foo', use `--' to signal the end of parameters, as in `idn --quiet -a -- -foo'. 10.3 Options ============ `idn' recognizes these commands: -h, --help Print help and exit -V, --version Print version and exit -s, --stringprep Prepare string according to nameprep profile -d, --punycode-decode Decode Punycode -e, --punycode-encode Encode Punycode -a, --idna-to-ascii Convert to ACE according to IDNA (default mode) -u, --idna-to-unicode Convert from ACE according to IDNA --allow-unassigned Toggle IDNA AllowUnassigned flag (default off) --usestd3asciirules Toggle IDNA UseSTD3ASCIIRules flag (default off) --no-tld Don't check string for TLD specific rules Only for --idna-to-ascii and --idna-to-unicode -n, --nfkc Normalize string according to Unicode v3.2 NFKC -p, --profile=STRING Use specified stringprep profile instead Valid stringprep profiles: `Nameprep', `iSCSI', `Nodeprep', `Resourceprep', `trace', `SASLprep' --debug Print debugging information --quiet Silent operation 10.4 Environment Variables ========================== The CHARSET environment variable can be used to override what character set to be used for decoding incoming data (i.e., on the command line or on the standard input stream), and to encode data to the standard output. If your system is set up correctly, however, the application will guess which character set is used automatically. Example usage: $ CHARSET=ISO-8859-1 idn --punycode-encode ... 10.5 Examples ============= Standard usage, reading input from standard input: jas@latte:~$ idn libidn 0.3.5 Copyright 2002, 2003 Simon Josefsson.

The reason for this is that most systems encode character data in more than one character encoding, i.e., using `UTF-8' together with `ISO-8859-1' or `ISO-2022-JP'. This problem is likely to continue to exist until only one character encoding come out as the evolutionary winner, or (more likely, at least to some extents) forever. The first step to troubleshooting character encoding problems with Libidn is to use the `--debug' parameter to find out which character set encoding `idn' believe your locale uses. jas@latte:~$ idn --debug --quiet "" system locale uses charset `UTF-8'. jas@latte:~$ If it prints `ANSI_X3.4-1968' (i.e., `US-ASCII'), this indicate you have not configured your locale properly. To configure the locale, you can, for example, use `LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8; export LANG' at a `/bin/sh' prompt, to set up your locale for a Swedish environment using `UTF-8' as the encoding. Sometimes `idn' appear to be unable to translate from your system locale into `UTF-8' (which is used internally), and you get an error like the following: jas@latte:~$ idn --quiet foo idn: could not convert from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. jas@latte:~$ The simplest explanation is that you haven't installed the `iconv' conversion tools. You can find it as a standalone library in GNU Libiconv (`http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/'). On many GNU/Linux systems, this library is part of the system, but you may have to install additional packages (e.g., `glibc-locale' for Debian) to be able to use it. Another explanation is that the error is correct and you are feeding `idn' invalid data. This can happen inadvertently if you are not careful with the character set encodings you use. For example, if your shell run in a `ISO-8859-1' environment, and you invoke `idn' with the `CHARSET' environment variable as follows, you will feed it `ISO-8859-1' characters but force it to believe they are `UTF-8'. Naturally this will lead to an error, unless the byte sequences happen to be parsable as `UTF-8'. Note that even if you don't get an error, the output may be incorrect in this situation, because `ISO-8859-1' and `UTF-8' does not in general encode the same characters as the same byte sequences. jas@latte:~$ idn --quiet --debug "" system locale uses charset `ISO-8859-1'. jas@latte:~$ CHARSET=UTF-8 idn --quiet --debug räksmörgås system locale uses charset `UTF-8'. input[0] = U+0072 input[1] = U+4af3 input[2] = U+006d input[3] = U+1b29e5 input[4] = U+0073 output[0] = U+0078 output[1] = U+006e output[2] = U+002d output[3] = U+002d output[4] = U+0072 output[5] = U+006d output[6] = U+0073 output[7] = U+002d output[8] = U+0068 output[9] = U+0069 output[10] = U+0036 output[11] = U+0064 output[12] = U+0035 output[13] = U+0039 output[14] = U+0037 output[15] = U+0035 output[16] = U+0035 output[17] = U+0032 output[18] = U+0061 xn--rms-hi6d597552a jas@latte:~$ The sense moral here is to forget about `CHARSET' (configure your locales properly instead) unless you know what you are doing, and if you want to use it, do it carefully, after verifying with `--debug' that you get the desired results.

This section describes the API. Currently the IDNA API always set the `UseSTD3ASCIIRules' flag and clear the `AllowUnassigned' flag, in the future there may be functionality to specify these flags via the API. 11.1 Punycode Emacs API ======================= -- Variable: punycode-program Name of the GNU Libidn `idn' application. The default is `idn'. This variable can be customized. -- Variable: punycode-environment List of environment variable definitions prepended to `process-environment'.

File: libidn.info, Node: Java API, Next: C# API, Prev: Emacs API, Up: Top 12 Java API *********** Libidn has been ported to the Java programming language, and as a consequence most of the API is available to native Java applications. This section contain notes on this support, complete documentation is pending. The Java library, if Libidn has been built with Java support (*note Downloading and Installing::), will be placed in `java/libidn-1.15.jar'. The source code is located in `java/gnu/inet/encoding/'. 12.1 Overview ============= This package provides a Java implementation of the Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) standard. It is written entirely in Java and does not require any additional libraries to be set up. The gnu.inet.encoding.IDNA class offers two public functions, toASCII and toUnicode which can be used as follows: gnu.inet.encoding.IDNA.toASCII("blöds.züg"); gnu.inet.encoding.IDNA.toUnicode("xn--blds-6qa.xn--zg-xka"); 12.2 Miscellaneous Programs =========================== The `misc/' directory contains several programs that are related to the Java part of GNU Libidn, but that don't need to be included in the main source tree. 12.2.1 GenerateRFC3454 ---------------------- This program parses RFC3454 and creates the RFC3454.java program that is required during the StringPrep phase. The RFC can be found at various locations, for example at `http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3454.txt'. Invoke the program as follows: $ java GenerateRFC3454 Creating RFC3454.java... Ok. 12.2.2 GenerateNFKC ------------------- The GenerateNFKC program parses the Unicode character database file and generates all the tables required for NFKC. This program requires the two files UnicodeData.txt and CompositionExclusions.txt of version 3.2 of the Unicode files. Note that RFC3454 (Stringprep) defines that Unicode version 3.2 is to be used, not the latest version. The Unicode data files can be found at `http://www.unicode.org/Public/'. Invoke the program as follows: $ java GenerateNFKC Creating CombiningClass.java... Ok. Creating DecompositionKeys.java... Ok. Creating DecompositionMappings.java... Ok. Creating Composition.java... Ok. 12.2.3 TestIDNA --------------- The TestIDNA program allows to test the IDNA implementation manually or against Simon Josefsson's test vectors. The test vectors can be found at the Libidn homepage, `http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/'. To test the tranformation manually, use: $ java -cp .:../libidn.jar TestIDNA -a Input: Output: $ java -cp .:../libidn.jar TestIDNA -u Input: Output: To test against draft-josefsson-idn-test-vectors.html, use: $ java -cp .:../libidn.jar TestIDNA -t No errors detected! 12.2.4 TestNFKC --------------- The TestNFKC program allows to test the NFKC implementation manually or against the NormalizationTest.txt file from the Unicode data files. To test the normalization manually, use: $ java -cp .:../libidn.jar TestNFKC Input: Output: To test against NormalizationTest.txt: $ java -cp .:../libidn.jar TestNFKC No errors detected! 12.3 Possible Problems ====================== Beware of Bugs: This Java API needs a lot more testing, especially with "exotic" character sets. While it works for me, it may not work for you. Encoding of your Java sources: If you are using non-ASCII characters in your Java source code, make sure javac compiles your programs with the correct encoding. If necessary specify the encoding using the -encoding parameter. Java Unicode handling: Java 1.4 only handles 16-bit Unicode code points (i.e. characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane), this implementation therefore ignores all references to so-called Supplementary Characters (U+10000 to U+10FFFF). Starting from Java 1.5, these characters will also be supported by Java, but this will require changes to this library. See also the next section. 12.4 A Note on Java and Unicode =============================== This library uses Java's builtin 'char' datatype. Up to Java 1.4, this datatype only supports 16-bit Unicode code points, also called the Basic Multilingual Plane. For this reason, this library doesn't work for Supplementary Characters (i.e. characters from U+10000 to U+10FFFF). All references to such characters are silently ignored. Starting from Java 1.5, also Supplementary Characters will be supported. However, this will require changes in the present version of the library. Java 1.5 is currently in beta status. For more information refer to the documentation of java.lang.Character in the JDK API.

The port reside in the top-level `csharp/' directory. Currently, no further documentation about the implementation or the API is available. However, the C# port was based on the Java port, and the API is exactly the same as in the Java version. The help files for the Java API may thus be useful.

However, I have not verified that the suggested modifications are correct. For reference, I'm including my response to the report as well. From: Rick McGowan Subject: Possible bug and status of PR 29 change(s) To: bug-libidn@gnu.org Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 14:49:17 -0700 Hello. On behalf of the Unicode Consortium editorial committee, I would like to find out more information about the PR 29 fixes, if any, and functions in Libidn. Your implementation was listed in the text of PR29 as needing investigation, so I am following up on several implementations. The UTC has accepted the proposed fix to D2 as outlined in PR29, and a new draft of UAX #15 has been issued. I have looked at Libidn 0.5.8 (today), and there may still be a possible bug in NFKC.java and nfkc.c. ------------------------------------------------------ 1. In NFKC.java, this line in canonicalOrdering(): if (i > 0 && (last_cc == 0 || last_cc != cc)) { should perhaps be changed to: if (i > 0 && (last_cc == 0 || last_cc < cc)) { but I'm not sure of the sense of this comparison. ------------------------------------------------------ 2. In nfkc.c, function _g_utf8_normalize_wc() has this code: if (i > 0 && (last_cc == 0 || last_cc != cc) && combine (wc_buffer[last_start], wc_buffer[i], &wc_buffer[last_start])) { This appears to have the same bug as the current Python implementation (in Python 2.3.4). The code should be checking, as per new rule D2 UAX #15 update, that the next combining character is the same or HIGHER than the current one. It now checks to see if it's non-zero and not equal. The above line(s) should perhaps be changed to: if (i > 0 && (last_cc == 0 || last_cc < cc) && combine (wc_buffer[last_start], wc_buffer[i], &wc_buffer[last_start])) { but I'm not sure of the sense of the comparison (< or > or <=?) here. In the text of PR29, I will be marking Libidn as "needs change" and adding the version number that I checked. If any further change is made, please let me know the release version, and I'll update again.

Hello Rick. I believe the current behavior is intentional. Libidn do not aim to implement latest-and-greatest NFKC, it aim to implement the NFKC functionality required for StringPrep and IDN. As you may know, StringPrep/IDN reference Unicode 3.2.0, and explicitly says any later changes (which I consider PR29 as) do not apply. In fact, I believe that would I incorporate the changes suggested in PR29, I would in fact be violating the IDN specifications. Thanks for looking into the code and finding the place where the change could be made. I'll see if I can mention this in the manual somewhere, for technically interested readers. Regards, Simon  File: libidn.info, Node: On Label Separators, Next: Copying Information, Prev: PR29 discussion, Up: Top Appendix B On Label Separators ****************************** Some strings contains characters whose NFKC normalized form contain the ASCII dot (0x2E, "."). Examples of these characters are U+2024 (ONE DOT LEADER) and U+248C (DIGIT FIVE FULL STOP). The strings have the interesting property that their IDNA ToASCII output will contain embedded dots. For example: ToASCII (hi U+248C com) = hi5.com ToASCII (räksmörgås U+2024 com) = xn--rksmrgs.com-l8as9u This demonstrate the two general cases: The first where the ASCII dot is part of an output that do not begin with the IDN prefix `xn--'. The second example illustrate when the dot is part of IDN prefixed with `xn--'. The input strings are, from the DNS point of view, a single label. The IDNA algorithm translate one label at a time. Thus, the output is expected to be only one label. What is important here is to make sure the DNS resolver receives the correct query. The DNS protocol does not use the dot to delimit labels on the wire, rather it uses length-value pairs. Thus the correct query would be for `{7}hi5.com' and `{22}xn--rksmrgs.com-l8as9u' respectively. Some implementations (1) have decided that these inputs strings are potentially confusing for the user. The string `hi U+248C com' looks like `hi5.com' on systems that support Unicode properly. These implementations do not follow RFC 3490. They yield: ToASCII (hi U+248C com) = hi5.com ToASCII (räksmörgås U+2024 com) = xn--rksmrgs-5wao1o.com The DNS query they perform are `{3}hi5{3}com' and `{18}xn--rksmrgs-5wao1o{3}com' respectively. Arguably, this leads to a better user experience, and suggests that the IDNA specification is sub-optimal in this area. B.1 Recommended Workaround ========================== It has been suggested to normalize the entire input string using NFKC before passing it to IDNA ToASCII. You may use `stringprep_utf8_nfkc_normalize' or `stringprep_ucs4_nfkc_normalize'. This appears to lead to similar behaviour as IE/Firefox, which would avoid the problem, but this needs to be confirmed. Feel free to discuss the issue with us. Alternative workarounds are being considered. Eventually Libidn may implement a new flag to the `idna_*' functions that implements a recommended way to work around this problem. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) Notably Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox, but not Apple's Safari.

File: libidn.info, Node: GNU Free Documentation License, Next: GNU LGPL, Up: Copying Information C.1 GNU Free Documentation License ================================== Version 1.3, 3 November 2008 Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. `http://fsf.org/' Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 0. PREAMBLE The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others. This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software. We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law. A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language. A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none. The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only. The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public. A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition. The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License. 2. VERBATIM COPYING You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies. 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. 4. MODIFICATIONS You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission. B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement. C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher. D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices. F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version. N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard. You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements." 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate. 8. TRANSLATION Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title. 9. TERMINATION You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice. Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it. 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'. Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document. 11. RELICENSING "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site. "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published by that same organization. "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in part, as part of another Document. An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this License, and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008. The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing. ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents ==================================================== To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page: Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License''. If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this: with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation. If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.  File: libidn.info, Node: GNU LGPL, Next: GNU GPL, Prev: GNU Free Documentation License, Up: Copying Information C.2 GNU Lesser General Public License ===================================== Version 2.1, February 1999 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.] Preamble -------- The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others. Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs. When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library. We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does _Less_ to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances. For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION --------------------------------------------------------------- 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you". A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a. The modified work must itself be a software library. b. You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. c. You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. d. If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library. 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License. However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: a. Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.) b. Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. c. Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution. d. If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place. e. Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute. 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: a. Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. b. Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries ---------------------------------------------- If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License). To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. ONE LINE TO GIVE THE LIBRARY'S NAME AND AN IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES. Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. SIGNATURE OF TY COON, 1 April 1990 Ty Coon, President of Vice That's all there is to it!  File: libidn.info, Node: GNU GPL, Prev: GNU LGPL, Up: Copying Information C.3 GNU General Public License ============================== Version 3, 29 June 2007 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. `http://fsf.org/' Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble ======== The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works. The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions. Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. TERMS AND CONDITIONS ==================== 0. Definitions. "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks. "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program. To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well. To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. 1. Source Code. The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of a work. A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language. The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work. The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work. 2. Basic Permissions. All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary. 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures. When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures. 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a. The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date. b. The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices". c. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. d. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so. A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate. 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways: a. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange. b. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. c. Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b. d. Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. e. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d. A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work. A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product. "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made. If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM). The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network. Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying. 7. Additional Terms. "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions. When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: a. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or b. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or c. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or d. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or e. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or f. Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors. All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying. If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms. Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way. 8. Termination. You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11). However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice. Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10. 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. 11. Patents. A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License. Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version. In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party. If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid. If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it. A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such. 14. Revised Versions of this License. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program. Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version. 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS =========================== How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs ============================================= If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES. Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program. If not, see `http://www.gnu.org/licenses/'. Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: PROGRAM Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see `http://www.gnu.org/licenses/'. The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first, please read `http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html'.
