=head1 NAME

charnames - define character names for C<\N{named}> string literal escapes

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use charnames ':full';
  print "\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA} is called sigma.\n";

  use charnames ':short';
  print "\N{greek:Sigma} is an upper-case sigma.\n";

  use charnames qw(cyrillic greek);
  print "\N{sigma} is Greek sigma, and \N{be} is Cyrillic b.\n";

  use charnames ":full", ":alias" => {
    e_ACUTE => "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE",
  };
  print "\N{e_ACUTE} is a small letter e with an acute.\n";

  use charnames ();
  print charnames::viacode(0x1234); # prints "ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE SEE"
  printf "%04X", charnames::vianame("GOTHIC LETTER AHSA"); # prints
                                                           # "10330"

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Pragma C<use charnames> supports arguments C<:full>, C<:short>, script
names and customized aliases.  If C<:full> is present, for expansion of
C<\N{CHARNAME}>, the string C<CHARNAME> is first looked up in the list of
standard Unicode character names.  If C<:short> is present, and
C<CHARNAME> has the form C<SCRIPT:CNAME>, then C<CNAME> is looked up
as a letter in script C<SCRIPT>.  If pragma C<use charnames> is used
with script name arguments, then for C<\N{CHARNAME}> the name
C<CHARNAME> is looked up as a letter in the given scripts (in the
specified order). Customized aliases can override these, and are explained in
L</CUSTOM ALIASES>.

For lookup of C<CHARNAME> inside a given script C<SCRIPTNAME>
this pragma looks for the names

  SCRIPTNAME CAPITAL LETTER CHARNAME
  SCRIPTNAME SMALL LETTER CHARNAME
  SCRIPTNAME LETTER CHARNAME

in the table of standard Unicode names.  If C<CHARNAME> is lowercase,
then the C<CAPITAL> variant is ignored, otherwise the C<SMALL> variant
is ignored.

Note that C<\N{...}> is compile-time, it's a special form of string
constant used inside double-quoted strings: in other words, you cannot
use variables inside the C<\N{...}>.  If you want similar run-time
functionality, use charnames::vianame().

For the C0 and C1 control characters (U+0000..U+001F, U+0080..U+009F)
as of Unicode 3.1, there are no official Unicode names but you can use
instead the ISO 6429 names (LINE FEED, ESCAPE, and so forth, and their
abbreviations, LF, ESC, ...).  In
Unicode 3.2 (as of Perl 5.8) some naming changes take place ISO 6429
has been updated, see L</ALIASES>.

Since the Unicode standard uses "U+HHHH", so can you: "\N{U+263a}"
is the Unicode smiley face, or "\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}".

=head1 ALIASES

A few aliases have been defined for convenience: instead of having
to use the official names

    LINE FEED (LF)
    FORM FEED (FF)
    CARRIAGE RETURN (CR)
    NEXT LINE (NEL)

(yes, with parentheses) one can use

    LINE FEED
    FORM FEED
    CARRIAGE RETURN
    NEXT LINE
    LF
    FF
    CR
    NEL

All the other standard abbreviations for the controls, such as C<ACK> for
C<ACKNOWLEDGE> also can be used.

One can also use

    BYTE ORDER MARK
    BOM

and these abbreviations

For backward compatibility one can use the old names for
certain C0 and C1 controls

    old                         new

    FILE SEPARATOR              INFORMATION SEPARATOR FOUR

    UNIT SEPARATOR              INFORMATION SEPARATOR ONE
    VERTICAL TABULATION         LINE TABULATION
    VERTICAL TABULATION SET     LINE TABULATION SET

but the old names in addition to giving the character
will also give a warning about being deprecated.

And finally, certain published variants are usable, including some for
controls that have no Unicode names:

    IND
    INDEX

    START OF PROTECTED AREA

=head1 CUSTOM ALIASES

This version of charnames supports three mechanisms of adding local
or customized aliases to standard Unicode naming conventions (:full).
The aliases override any standard definitions, so, if you're twisted enough,
you can change C<"\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A}"> to mean C<"B">, etc.

Note that an alias should not be something that is a legal curly
brace-enclosed quantifier (see L<perlreref/QUANTIFIERS>).  For example
C<\N{123}> means to match 123 non-newline characters, and is not treated as an
alias.  Aliases are discouraged from beginning with anything other than an
alphabetic character and from containing anything other than alphanumerics,
spaces, dashes, colons, parentheses, and underscores.  Currently they must be
ASCII.

An alias can map to either an official Unicode character name or numeric
code point (ordinal).  The latter is useful for assigning names to code
points in Unicode private use areas such as U+E000 through U+F8FF.  The
number must look like an unsigned decimal integer, or a hexadecimal
constant beginning with C<0x>, or <U+>.

=head2 Anonymous hashes

    use charnames ":full", ":alias" => {
        e_ACUTE => "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE",
        mychar1 => 0xE8000,
        };
    my $str = "\N{e_ACUTE}";

=head2 Alias file

    use charnames ":full", ":alias" => "pro";

    will try to read "unicore/pro_alias.pl" from the @INC path. This
    file should return a list in plain perl:

    (
    A_GRAVE         => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE",
    A_CIRCUM        => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX",
    A_DIAERES       => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS",
    A_TILDE         => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH TILDE",
    A_BREVE         => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE",
    A_RING          => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE",
    A_MACRON        => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH MACRON",
    mychar2         => U+E8001,
    );

=head2 Alias shortcut

    use charnames ":alias" => ":pro";

works exactly the same as the alias pairs, only this time,
":full" is inserted automatically as the first argument (if no
other argument is given).

=head1 charnames::viacode(code)

Returns the full name of the character indicated by the numeric code.
The example

    print charnames::viacode(0x2722);

prints "FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK".

Returns undef if no name is known for the code.

The name returned is the official name for the code point, if
available, otherwise your custom alias for it.  This means that your
alias will only be returned for code points that don't have an official
Unicode name (nor Unicode version 1 name), such as private use code
points, and the 4 control characters U+0080, U+0081, U+0084, and U+0099.

Notice that the name returned for of U+FEFF is "ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK
SPACE", not "BYTE ORDER MARK".

=head1 charnames::vianame(name)

Returns the code point indicated by the name.
The example

    printf "%04X", charnames::vianame("FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK");

prints "2722".

Returns undef if the name is unknown.

This works only for the standard names, and does not yet apply
to custom translators.

=head1 CUSTOM TRANSLATORS

The mechanism of translation of C<\N{...}> escapes is general and not
hardwired into F<charnames.pm>.  A module can install custom
translations (inside the scope which C<use>s the module) with the
following magic incantation:

    sub import {
	shift;
	$^H{charnames} = \&translator;
    }

Here translator() is a subroutine which takes C<CHARNAME> as an
argument, and returns text to insert into the string instead of the
C<\N{CHARNAME}> escape.  Since the text to insert should be different
in C<bytes> mode and out of it, the function should check the current
state of C<bytes>-flag as in:

    use bytes ();			# for $bytes::hint_bits
    sub translator {
	if ($^H & $bytes::hint_bits) {
	    return bytes_translator(@_);
	}
	else {
	    return utf8_translator(@_);
	}
    }

See L</CUSTOM ALIASES> above for restrictions on C<CHARNAME>.

=head1 ILLEGAL CHARACTERS

If you ask by name for a character that does not exist, a warning is given and
the Unicode I<replacement character> "\x{FFFD}" is returned.

If you ask by code (C<charnames::viacode()>) for a character that is
unassigned, no warning is given and C<undef> is returned.  In Unicode
the proper name of these is the empty string, which C<undef> stringifies
to.  (If you ask for a code point past the legal Unicode maximum of
U+10FFFF you do get C<undef> and a warning.)

=head1 BUGS

vianame returns a chr if the input name is of the form C<U+...>, and an ord
otherwise.  It is proposed to change this to always return an ord.  Send email
to C<perl5-porters@perl.org> to comment on this proposal.

None of the functions work on almost all the Hangul syllable and CJK Unicode
characters that have their code points as part of their names.

Names must be ASCII characters only, which means that you are out of luck if
you want to create aliases in a language where some or all the characters of
the desired aliases are non-ASCII.

Unicode standard named sequences are not recognized, such as
C<LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH MACRON AND GRAVE>
(which should mean C<LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH MACRON> with an additional
C<COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT>).

Since evaluation of the translation function happens in the middle of
compilation (of a string literal), the translation function should not
do any C<eval>s or C<require>s.  This restriction should be lifted in
a future version of Perl.
