Description
This section defines string utility functions used by libglabels and of possible use to a user of libglabels.
Functions
lgl_str_utf8_casecmp ()
gint lgl_str_utf8_casecmp (const gchar *s1,const gchar *s2);
Compare two UTF-8 strings, ignoring the case of characters.
This function should be used only on strings that are known to be encoded in UTF-8 or a compatible UTF-8 subset.
lgl_str_part_name_cmp ()
gint lgl_str_part_name_cmp (const gchar *s1,const gchar *s2);
Compare two UTF-8 strings representing part names or numbers. This function uses a natural sort order:
Ignores case.
Strings are divided into chunks (numeric and non-numeric)
Non-numeric chunks are compared character by character
Numerical chunks are compared numerically, so that "20" precedes "100".
Comparison of chunks is performed left to right until the first difference is encountered or all chunks evaluate as equal.
This function should be used only on strings that are known to be encoded in UTF-8 or a compatible UTF-8 subset.
Numeric chunks are converted to 64 bit unsigned integers for comparison, so the behaviour may be unpredictable for numeric chunks that exceed 18446744073709551615.
