* \brief C API: BreakIterator
*
* <h2> BreakIterator C API </h2>
*
* The BreakIterator C API defines methods for finding the location
* of boundaries in text. Pointer to a UBreakIterator maintain a
* current position and scan over text returning the index of characters
* where boundaries occur.
* <P>
* Line boundary analysis determines where a text string can be broken
* when line-wrapping. The mechanism correctly handles punctuation and
* hyphenated words.
* <P>
* Sentence boundary analysis allows selection with correct
* interpretation of periods within numbers and abbreviations, and
* trailing punctuation marks such as quotation marks and parentheses.
* <P>
* Word boundary analysis is used by search and replace functions, as
* well as within text editing applications that allow the user to
* select words with a double click. Word selection provides correct
* interpretation of punctuation marks within and following
* words. Characters that are not part of a word, such as symbols or
* punctuation marks, have word-breaks on both sides.
* <P>
* Character boundary analysis allows users to interact with
* characters as they expect to, for example, when moving the cursor
* through a text string. Character boundary analysis provides correct
* navigation of through character strings, regardless of how the
* character is stored. For example, an accented character might be
* stored as a base character and a diacritical mark. What users
* consider to be a character can differ between languages.
* <P>
* Title boundary analysis locates all positions,
* typically starts of words, that should be set to Title Case
* when title casing the text.
* <P>
*
* This is the interface for all text boundaries.
* <P>
* Examples:
* <P>
* Helper function to output text
* <pre>
* \code
* void printTextRange(UChar* str, int32_t start, int32_t end ) {
* UChar* result;
* UChar* temp;
* const char* res;
* temp=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * ((u_strlen(str)-start)+1));
* result=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * ((end-start)+1));
* u_strcpy(temp, &str[start]);
* u_strncpy(result, temp, end-start);
* res=(char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * (u_strlen(result)+1));
* u_austrcpy(res, result);
* printf("%s\n", res);
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Print each element in order:
* <pre>
* \code
* void printEachForward( UBreakIterator* boundary, UChar* str) {
* int32_t end;
* int32_t start = ubrk_first(boundary);
* for (end = ubrk_next(boundary)); end != UBRK_DONE; start = end, end = ubrk_next(boundary)) {
* printTextRange(str, start, end );
* }
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Print each element in reverse order:
* <pre>
* \code
* void printEachBackward( UBreakIterator* boundary, UChar* str) {
* int32_t start;
* int32_t end = ubrk_last(boundary);
* for (start = ubrk_previous(boundary); start != UBRK_DONE; end = start, start =ubrk_previous(boundary)) {
* printTextRange( str, start, end );
* }
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Print first element
* <pre>
* \code
* void printFirst(UBreakIterator* boundary, UChar* str) {
* int32_t end;
* int32_t start = ubrk_first(boundary);
* end = ubrk_next(boundary);
* printTextRange( str, start, end );
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Print last element
* <pre>
* \code
* void printLast(UBreakIterator* boundary, UChar* str) {
* int32_t start;
* int32_t end = ubrk_last(boundary);
* start = ubrk_previous(boundary);
* printTextRange(str, start, end );
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Print the element at a specified position
* <pre>
* \code
* void printAt(UBreakIterator* boundary, int32_t pos , UChar* str) {
* int32_t start;
* int32_t end = ubrk_following(boundary, pos);
* start = ubrk_previous(boundary);
* printTextRange(str, start, end );
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Creating and using text boundaries
* <pre>
* \code
* void BreakIterator_Example( void ) {
* UBreakIterator* boundary;
* UChar *stringToExamine;
* stringToExamine=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (strlen("Aaa bbb ccc. Ddd eee fff.")+1) );
* u_uastrcpy(stringToExamine, "Aaa bbb ccc. Ddd eee fff.");
* printf("Examining: "Aaa bbb ccc. Ddd eee fff.");
*
* //print each sentence in forward and reverse order
* boundary = ubrk_open(UBRK_SENTENCE, "en_us", stringToExamine, u_strlen(stringToExamine), &status);
* printf("----- forward: -----------\n");
* printEachForward(boundary, stringToExamine);
* printf("----- backward: ----------\n");
* printEachBackward(boundary, stringToExamine);
* ubrk_close(boundary);
