This library implements several algorithms related to the Unicode Standard:
- Look up uppercase, lowercase, and titlecase equivalents of a unicode
character
- Implementation of grapheme and work breaking rules
- Implementation of line breaking rules
- Several ancillary functions, like looking up the unicode character
that corresponds to some HTML 4.0 entity (such as "&", for example),
and determining the normal width or a double-width status of a unicode
character. Also, an adaptation of the iconv(3) API for this unicode
library
- Look up the Unicode script property
- Look up the category property
This library also implements C++ bindings for these algorithms.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
