SYNOPSIS

       #include <stringprep.h>

       int  stringprep_profile(const char * in, char ** out, const char * pro-
       file, Stringprep_profile_flags flags);

ARGUMENTS

       const char * in
                   input array with UTF-8 string to prepare.

       char ** out output variable with pointer to newly allocate string.

       const char * profile
                   name of stringprep profile to use.

       Stringprep_profile_flags flags
                   a Stringprep_profile_flags value, or 0.

DESCRIPTION

       Prepare the input zero terminated UTF-8 string according to the string-
       prep 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.
