This module supplies features similar as wcwidth(3) and wcswidth(3) in C
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
Characters have its own width on terminal depending on locale. For example,
|
|
ASCII characters occupy one column per character, east Asian fullwidth
|
|
characters (like Hiragana or Han Ideograph) occupy two columns per
|
|
character, and combining characters (apperaring in ISO-8859-11 Thai,
|
|
Unicode, and so on) occupy zero columns per character. mbwidth() gives the
|
|
width of the first character of the given string and mbswidth() gives the
|
|
width of the whole given string.
|
|
|
|
The names of mbwidth and mbswidth came from "multibyte" versions of wcwidth
|
|
and wcswidth which are "wide character" versions.
|
|
|
|
mblen(string) returns number of bytes of the first character of the string.
|
|
Please note that a character may consist of multiple bytes in multibyte
|
|
encodings such as UTF-8, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, GB2312, or Big5.
|
|
|
|
mbwidth(string) returns the width of the first character of the string.
|
|
mbswidth(string) returns the width of the whole string.
|
|
|
|
Parameters are to be given in locale encodings, not always in UTF-8.
