Hostname Utilities

Functions for manipulating internet hostnames; in particular, for converting between Unicode and ASCII-encoded forms of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).

The Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA) standards allow for the use of Unicode domain names in applications, while providing backward-compatibility with the old ASCII-only DNS, by defining an ASCII-Compatible Encoding of any given Unicode name, which can be used with non-IDN-aware applications and protocols. (For example, “Παν語.org” maps to “xn--4wa8awb4637h.org”.)

Hostname Conversions

  • [func@GLib.hostname_to_ascii]
  • [func@GLib.hostname_to_unicode]

Hostname Checks

  • [func@GLib.hostname_is_non_ascii]
  • [func@GLib.hostname_is_ascii_encoded]
  • [func@GLib.hostname_is_ip_address]
