* \brief C API: Abstract Unicode Text API
*
* The Text Access API provides a means to allow text that is stored in alternative
* formats to work with ICU services. ICU normally operates on text that is
* stored in UTF-16 format, in (UChar *) arrays for the C APIs or as type
* UnicodeString for C++ APIs.
*
* ICU Text Access allows other formats, such as UTF-8 or non-contiguous
* UTF-16 strings, to be placed in a UText wrapper and then passed to ICU services.
*
* There are three general classes of usage for UText:
*
* Application Level Use. This is the simplest usage - applications would
* use one of the utext_open() functions on their input text, and pass
* the resulting UText to the desired ICU service.
*
* Second is usage in ICU Services, such as break iteration, that will need to
* operate on input presented to them as a UText. These implementations
* will need to use the iteration and related UText functions to gain
* access to the actual text.
*
* The third class of UText users are "text providers." These are the
* UText implementations for the various text storage formats. An application
* or system with a unique text storage format can implement a set of
* UText provider functions for that format, which will then allow
* ICU services to operate on that format.
*
*
* <em>Iterating over text</em>
*
* Here is sample code for a forward iteration over the contents of a UText
*
* \code
* UChar32 c;
* UText *ut = whatever();
*
* for (c=utext_next32From(ut, 0); c>=0; c=utext_next32(ut)) {
* // do whatever with the codepoint c here.
* }
* \endcode
*
* And here is similar code to iterate in the reverse direction, from the end
* of the text towards the beginning.
*
* \code
* UChar32 c;
* UText *ut = whatever();
* int textLength = utext_nativeLength(ut);
* for (c=utext_previous32From(ut, textLength); c>=0; c=utext_previous32(ut)) {
* // do whatever with the codepoint c here.
* }
* \endcode
*
* <em>Characters and Indexing</em>
*
* Indexing into text by UText functions is nearly always in terms of the native
* indexing of the underlying text storage. The storage format could be UTF-8
* or UTF-32, for example. When coding to the UText access API, no assumptions
* can be made regarding the size of characters, or how far an index
* may move when iterating between characters.
*
* All indices supplied to UText functions are pinned to the length of the
* text. An out-of-bounds index is not considered to be an error, but is
* adjusted to be in the range 0 <= index <= length of input text.
*
*
* When an index position is returned from a UText function, it will be
* a native index to the underlying text. In the case of multi-unit characters,
* it will always refer to the first position of the character,
* never to the interior. This is essentially the same thing as saying that
* a returned index will always point to a boundary between characters.
*
* When a native index is supplied to a UText function, all indices that
* refer to any part of a multi-unit character representation are considered
* to be equivalent. In the case of multi-unit characters, an incoming index
* will be logically normalized to refer to the start of the character.
*
* It is possible to test whether a native index is on a code point boundary
* by doing a utext_setNativeIndex() followed by a utext_getNativeIndex().
* If the index is returned unchanged, it was on a code point boundary. If
* an adjusted index is returned, the original index referred to the
* interior of a character.
*
* <em>Conventions for calling UText functions</em>
*
* Most UText access functions have as their first parameter a (UText *) pointer,
* which specifies the UText to be used. Unless otherwise noted, the
* pointer must refer to a valid, open UText. Attempting to
* use a closed UText or passing a NULL pointer is a programming error and
* will produce undefined results or NULL pointer exceptions.
*
* The UText_Open family of functions can either open an existing (closed)
* UText, or heap allocate a new UText. Here is sample code for creating
* a stack-allocated UText.
*
* \code
* char *s = whatever(); // A utf-8 string
* U_ErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* UText ut = UTEXT_INITIALIZER;
* utext_openUTF8(ut, s, -1, &status);
* if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
* // error handling
* } else {
* // work with the UText
* }
* \endcode
*
* Any existing UText passed to an open function _must_ have been initialized,
* either by the UTEXT_INITIALIZER, or by having been originally heap-allocated
* by an open function. Passing NULL will cause the open function to
* heap-allocate and fully initialize a new UText.

* Clone a UText. This is much like opening a UText where the source text is itself
* another UText.
*
* A deep clone will copy both the UText data structures and the underlying text.
* The original and cloned UText will operate completely independently; modifications
* made to the text in one will not affect the other. Text providers are not
* required to support deep clones. The user of clone() must check the status return
* and be prepared to handle failures.
*
* The standard UText implementations for UTF8, UChar *, UnicodeString and
* Replaceable all support deep cloning.
*
* The UText returned from a deep clone will be writable, assuming that the text
* provider is able to support writing, even if the source UText had been made
* non-writable by means of UText_freeze().
*
* A shallow clone replicates only the UText data structures; it does not make
* a copy of the underlying text. Shallow clones can be used as an efficient way to
* have multiple iterators active in a single text string that is not being
* modified.
*
* A shallow clone operation will not fail, barring truly exceptional conditions such
* as memory allocation failures.
*
* Shallow UText clones should be avoided if the UText functions that modify the
* text are expected to be used, either on the original or the cloned UText.
* Any such modifications can cause unpredictable behavior. Read Only
* shallow clones provide some protection against errors of this type by
* disabling text modification via the cloned UText.
*
* A shallow clone made with the readOnly parameter == false will preserve the
* utext_isWritable() state of the source object. Note, however, that
* write operations must be avoided while more than one UText exists that refer
* to the same underlying text.
*
* A UText and its clone may be safely concurrently accessed by separate threads.
* This is true for read access only with shallow clones, and for both read and
* write access with deep clones.

* constraint is met.
