/****************************************************
* PCRE maintainers' helper program: UTF-8 converter *
****************************************************/

/* This is a test program for converting character codepoints to UTF-8 and
vice versa. Note that this program conforms to the original definition of
UTF-8, which allows codepoints up to 7fffffff. The more recent definition
limits the validity of Unicode UTF-8 codepoints to a maximum of 10ffff, and
forbids the "surrogate" codepoints. This program now gives warnings for these
invalid codepoints.

The arguments are either single codepoint values written as U+hh.. or 0xhh..
for conversion to UTF-8, or sequences of hex values, written without a prefix
and optionally including spaces (but such arguments must be quoted), for
encoding from UTF-8 code units to Unicode codepoints. For example:

  ./utf8 0x1234
  U+00001234 => e1 88 b4

  ./utf8 "e1 88 b4"
  U+00001234 <= e1 88 b4

In the second case, a number of UTF-8 characters can be present in one
argument. In other words, each such argument is interpreted (after ignoring
spaces) as a string of UTF-8 bytes representing a string of characters:

  ./utf8 "65 e188b4 77"
  0x00000065 <= 65
  0x00001234 <= e1 88 b4
  0x00000077 <= 77

If the option -s is given, the sequence of UTF-bytes is written out between
angle brackets at the end of the line, if valid. On a UTF-8 terminal, this
should show the appropriate graphic for the character or a question mark.

if the option -b is given, a file with the encoded bytes is written for use
with pcre2test in utf8_input format.

Errors provoke error messages, but the program carries on with the next
argument. The return code is always zero unless there was nothing to process
or an invalid option was provided and the "usage" was printed.

/* This function takes one or more bytes that represent a UTF-8 character from
the start of a string of bytes. It returns the value of the character, or the
offset of a malformation. For an overlong encoding that works but is not the
correct (shortest) one, the error offset is just after the last byte.

Argument:
  buffer   a pointer to the byte vector
  buffend  a pointer to the end of the buffer
  vptr     a pointer to a variable to receive the value
  lenptr   a pointer to a variable to receive the offset when error detected

Returns:   > 0 => the number of bytes consumed
             0 => invalid UTF-8: first byte missing 0x40 bit
            -1 => invalid UTF-8: first byte has too many high-order 1-bits
