Description

A high level Unicode text processing library, designed with the following objectives: * To introduce a definite type that represents a string of Unicode characters and provides a handy set of operations. * The API should be encoding independent and allows efficient implementations. * Besides separating string API from in-memory data representation, it should separate string API from input/output stream representation. * To provide a clear, well-defined semantic for iteration over string elements, such as Unicode unit, grapheme cluster, etc. * To avoid string element integer indexes, because this isn't necessarily constant time and could mislead about indexed element kind. * To prefer safe results over raising exceptions where possible.

Upstream's version as each commit to the port's Makefile set it, or as this site first saw it in the system's packages; the tree's own revisions are not versions here.

Install

Binary package:

pkg install vss-text

From the ports tree:

cd /usr/ports/textproc/vss-text/ && make install clean

To depend on this port in another port's Makefile:

RUN_DEPENDS=	vss-text>0:textproc/vss-text
LIB_DEPENDS=	libvss-gnat.so:textproc/vss-text
