It is used to prepare internationalized strings (such as +domain name labels, usernames, and passwords) in order to increase the +likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that make +sense for typical users throughout the world. + +The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode +3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibition of characters, and +bidirectional character handling. Profiles for iSCSI, Kerberos 5, Nameprep, +SASL, and XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via +IDNA are supported. |
