=head1 NAME

ossl_punycode_decode, ossl_a2ulabel, ossl_a2ucompare
- internal punycode-related functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  #include "crypto/punycode.h"

  int ossl_punycode_decode(const char *pEncoded, const size_t enc_len,
                           unsigned int *pDecoded, unsigned int *pout_length);

  int ossl_a2ulabel(const char *in, char *out, size_t *outlen);

  int ossl_a2ucompare(const char *a, const char *u);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

PUNYCODE encoding introduced in RFCs 3490-3492 is widely used for
representation of host names in ASCII-only format. Some specifications,
such as RFC 8398, require comparison of host names encoded in UTF-8 charset.

ossl_a2ulabel() decodes NULL-terminated hostname from PUNYCODE to UTF-8,
using a provided buffer for output.

ossl_a2ucompare() accepts two NULL-terminated hostnames, decodes the 1st
from PUNYCODE to UTF-8 and compares it with the 2nd one as is.

ossl_punycode_decode() decodes one label (one dot-separated part) from
a hostname, with stripped PUNYCODE marker I<xn-->.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

ossl_a2ulabel() returns 1 on success, 0 on not enough buf passed,
-1 on invalid PUNYCODE string passed. When valid string is provided, it sets the
I<*outlen> to the length of required buffer to perform correct decoding.

ossl_a2ucompare() returns 1 on non-equal strings, 0 on equal strings,
-1 when invalid PUNYCODE string passed.

ossl_punycode_decode() returns 1 on success, 0 on error. On success,
*pout_length contains the number of codepoints decoded.

=head1 HISTORY

The functions described here were all added in OpenSSL 3.0.
