pangoLanguageFromString: pangoLanguageFromString

Description

Take a RFC-3066 format language tag as a string and convert it to a PangoLanguage pointer that can be efficiently copied (copy the pointer) and compared with other language tags (compare the pointer.)

Usage

pangoLanguageFromString(language)

Arguments

language

[char] a string representing a language tag, or NULL

Value

PangoLanguage] an opaque pointer to a PangoLanguage structure, or NULL if language was NULL. The returned pointer will be valid forever after, and should not be freed.

Details

This function first canonicalizes the string by converting it to lowercase, mapping '_' to '-', and stripping all characters other than letters and '-'. Use pangoLanguageGetDefault if you want to get the PangoLanguage for the current locale of the process.
