NAME
register_uformat - Installs handler functions for a new text encoding format. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
void register_uformat(int type,
int (*u_getc)(const char *s),
int (*u_getx)(char **s),
int (*u_setc)(char *s, int c),
int (*u_width)(const char *s),
int (*u_cwidth)(int c),
int (*u_isok)(int c));
DESCRIPTION
Installs a set of custom handler functions for a new text encoding
format. The `type' is the ID code for your new format, which should be a
4-character string as produced by the AL_ID() macro, and which can later
be passed to functions like set_uformat() and uconvert(). The function
parameters are handlers that implement the character access for your new
type: see below for details of these.
