## Functions

### tld_strerror ()

    const char *
    tld_strerror (Tld_rc rc);

Convert a return code integer to a text string. This string can be used to output a diagnostic message to the user.

TLD_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. TLD_INVALID: Invalid character found. TLD_NODATA: No input data was provided. TLD_MALLOC_ERROR: Error during memory allocation. TLD_ICONV_ERROR: Character encoding conversion error. TLD_NO_TLD: No top-level domain found in domain string.

#### Parameters

rc | tld return code |

#### Returns

Returns a pointer to a statically allocated string containing a description of the error with the return code `rc` .

### tld_get_4 ()

    int
    tld_get_4 (const uint32_t *in,
               size_t inlen,
               char **out);

Isolate the top-level domain of `in` and return it as an ASCII string in `out` .

#### Parameters

in | Array of unicode code points to process. Does not need to be zero terminated. |
inlen | Number of unicode code points. |
out | Zero terminated ascii result string pointer. |

#### Returns

Return `TLD_SUCCESS` on success, or the corresponding Tld_rc error code otherwise.

### tld_get_4z ()

    int
    tld_get_4z (const uint32_t *in,
                char **out);

                 const Tld_table **overrides);

Test each of the code points in `in` for whether or not they are allowed by the information in `overrides` or by the built-in TLD restriction data. When data for the same TLD is available both internally and in `overrides` , the information in `overrides` takes precedence. If several entries for a specific TLD are found, the first one is used. If `overrides` is `NULL`, only the built-in information is used. The position of the first offending character is returned in `errpos` .

#### Parameters

in | Array of unicode code points to process. Does not need to be zero terminated. |
inlen | Number of unicode code points. |
errpos | Position of offending character is returned here. |
overrides | A Tld_table array of additional domain restriction structures that complement and supersede the built-in information. |

#### Returns

Returns the Tld_rc value `TLD_SUCCESS` if all code points are valid or when `tld` is null, `TLD_INVALID` if a character is not allowed, or additional error codes on general failure conditions.

### tld_check_4z ()

                  size_t *errpos,
                  const Tld_table **overrides);

Test each of the code points in `in` for whether or not they are allowed by the information in `overrides` or by the built-in TLD restriction data. When data for the same TLD is available both internally and in `overrides` , the information in `overrides` takes precedence. If several entries for a specific TLD are found, the first one is used. If `overrides` is `NULL`, only the built-in information is used. The position of the first offending character is returned in `errpos` .

#### Parameters

in | Zero-terminated array of unicode code points to process. |
errpos | Position of offending character is returned here. |
overrides | A Tld_table array of additional domain restriction structures that complement and supersede the built-in information. |

#### Returns

Returns the Tld_rc value `TLD_SUCCESS` if all code points are valid or when `tld` is null, `TLD_INVALID` if a character is not allowed, or additional error codes on general failure conditions.

### tld_check_8z ()

    int
    tld_check_8z (const char *in,
                  size_t *errpos,
                  const Tld_table **overrides);

Test each of the characters in `in` for whether or not they are allowed by the information in `overrides` or by the built-in TLD restriction data. When data for the same TLD is available both internally and in `overrides` , the information in `overrides` takes precedence. If several entries for a specific TLD are found, the first one is used. If `overrides` is `NULL`, only the built-in information is used. The position of the first offending character is returned in `errpos` . Note that the error position refers to the decoded character offset rather than the byte position in the string.

#### Parameters

in | Zero-terminated UTF8 string to process. |
errpos | Position of offending character is returned here. |
overrides | A Tld_table array of additional domain restriction structures that complement and supersede the built-in information. |

#### Returns

Returns the Tld_rc value `TLD_SUCCESS` if all characters are valid or when `tld` is null, `TLD_INVALID` if a character is not allowed, or additional error codes on general failure conditions.

### tld_check_lz ()

    int
    tld_check_lz (const char *in,
                  size_t *errpos,
                  const Tld_table **overrides);

Test each of the characters in `in` for whether or not they are allowed by the information in `overrides` or by the built-in TLD restriction data. When data for the same TLD is available both internally and in `overrides` , the information in `overrides` takes precedence. If several entries for a specific TLD are found, the first one is used. If `overrides` is `NULL`, only the built-in information is used. The position of the first offending character is returned in `errpos` . Note that the error position refers to the decoded character offset rather than the byte position in the string.

#### Parameters

errpos | Position of offending character is returned here. |
overrides | A Tld_table array of additional domain restriction structures that complement and supersede the built-in information. |

#### Returns

Returns the Tld_rc value `TLD_SUCCESS` if all characters are valid or when `tld` is null, `TLD_INVALID` if a character is not allowed, or additional error codes on general failure conditions.
