51 * \brief C API: UCollationElements
52 *
53 * The UCollationElements API is used as an iterator to walk through each
54 * character of an international string. Use the iterator to return the
55 * ordering priority of the positioned character. The ordering priority of a
56 * character, which we refer to as a key, defines how a character is collated
57 * in the given collation object.
58 * For example, consider the following in Spanish:
59 * <pre>
60 * . "ca" -> the first key is key('c') and second key is key('a').
61 * . "cha" -> the first key is key('ch') and second key is key('a').
62 * </pre>
63 * And in German,
64 * <pre>
65 * . "<ae ligature>b"-> the first key is key('a'), the second key is key('e'), and
66 * . the third key is key('b').
67 * </pre>
68 * <p>Example of the iterator usage: (without error checking)
69 * <pre>
70 * . void CollationElementIterator_Example()
71 * . {
72 * . UChar *s;
73 * . t_int32 order, primaryOrder;
74 * . UCollationElements *c;
75 * . UCollatorOld *coll;
76 * . UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
77 * . s=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (strlen("This is a test")+1) );
78 * . u_uastrcpy(s, "This is a test");
79 * . coll = ucol_open(NULL, &success);
80 * . c = ucol_openElements(coll, str, u_strlen(str), &status);
81 * . order = ucol_next(c, &success);
82 * . ucol_reset(c);
83 * . order = ucol_prev(c, &success);
84 * . free(s);
85 * . ucol_close(coll);
86 * . ucol_closeElements(c);
87 * . }
88 * </pre>
89 * <p>
90 * ucol_next() returns the collation order of the next.
91 * ucol_prev() returns the collation order of the previous character.
92 * The Collation Element Iterator moves only in one direction between calls to
93 * ucol_reset. That is, ucol_next() and ucol_prev can not be inter-used.
94 * Whenever ucol_prev is to be called after ucol_next() or vice versa,
95 * ucol_reset has to be called first to reset the status, shifting pointers to
96 * either the end or the start of the string. Hence at the next call of
97 * ucol_prev or ucol_next, the first or last collation order will be returned.
98 * If a change of direction is done without a ucol_reset, the result is
99 * undefined.
100 * The result of a forward iterate (ucol_next) and reversed result of the
101 * backward iterate (ucol_prev) on the same string are equivalent, if
102 * collation orders with the value UCOL_IGNORABLE are ignored.
103 * Character based on the comparison level of the collator. A collation order
104 * consists of primary order, secondary order and tertiary order. The data
105 * type of the collation order is <strong>t_int32</strong>.
