     IDN(2)                                                     IDN(2)

     NAME
          utf2idn, idn2utf - convert internationalized domain names to
          and from unicode

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <u.h>
          #include <libc.h>

          int  utf2idn(char *name, char *buf, int nbuf);

          int  idn2utf(char *name, char *buf, int nbuf);

     DESCRIPTION
          These routines handle encoding and decoding of domain names
          as specified by RFC5890.

          Utf2idn encodes the UTF string name to ASCII internatlional-
          ized domain name in buf. Idn2utf does the reverse, decoding
          the ASCII string name back to UTF in buf. The maximum size
          of buf is gived by nbuf.

     DIAGNOSTICS
          The return value is the number of bytes (excluding the ter-
          minating NULL) in buf or -1 on failure.
