  • Converts hostname to its canonical presentation form; a UTF-8 string in Unicode normalization form C, containing no uppercase letters, no forbidden characters, and no ASCII-encoded segments, and not ending with a trailing dot.

    Of course if hostname is not an internationalized hostname, then the canonical presentation form will be entirely ASCII.

    Parameters

      a valid UTF-8 or ASCII hostname

    Returns string

    a UTF-8 hostname, which must be freed, or null if hostname is in some way invalid.
