/**
 * SECTION:string_utils
 * @title: String Utility Functions
 * @short_description: various string-related functions
 *
 * This section describes a number of utility functions for creating,
 * duplicating, and manipulating strings.
 *
 * Note that the functions g_printf(), g_fprintf(), g_sprintf(),
 * g_snprintf(), g_vprintf(), g_vfprintf(), g_vsprintf() and g_vsnprintf()
 * are declared in the header <filename>gprintf.h</filename> which is
 * <emphasis>not</emphasis> included in <filename>glib.h</filename>
 * (otherwise using <filename>glib.h</filename> would drag in
 * <filename>stdio.h</filename>), so you'll have to explicitly include
 * <literal>&lt;glib/gprintf.h&gt;</literal> in order to use the GLib
 * printf() functions.
 *
 * <para id="string-precision">While you may use the printf() functions
 * to format UTF-8 strings, notice that the precision of a
 * <literal>&percnt;Ns</literal> parameter is interpreted as the
 * number of <emphasis>bytes</emphasis>, not <emphasis>characters</emphasis>
 * to print. On top of that, the GNU libc implementation of the printf()
 * functions has the "feature" that it checks that the string given for
 * the <literal>&percnt;Ns</literal> parameter consists of a whole number
 * of characters in the current encoding. So, unless you are sure you are
 * always going to be in an UTF-8 locale or your know your text is restricted
 * to ASCII, avoid using <literal>&percnt;Ns</literal>. If your intention is
 * to format strings for a certain number of columns, then
 * <literal>&percnt;Ns</literal> is not a correct solution anyway, since it
 * fails to take wide characters (see g_unichar_iswide()) into account.

 * @ascii_alternates: (out) (transfer full) (array zero-terminated=1): a

 *
 * Tokenises @string and performs folding on each token.
 *
 * A token is a non-empty sequence of alphanumeric characters in the

 * "alphanumeric" character for this purpose is one that matches
 * g_unichar_isalnum() or g_unichar_ismark().

 * contain non-ASCII characters, ASCII alternatives will be generated.
 *
 * The number of ASCII alternatives that are generated and the method
 * for doing so is unspecified, but @translit_locale (if specified) may
 * improve the transliteration if the language of the source string is
 * known.

/**
 * g_str_match_string:

 * @potential_hit: the text that may be a hit
 * @accept_alternates: %TRUE to accept ASCII alternates
 *
 * Checks if a search conducted for @search_term should match
 * @potential_hit.
 *
 * This function calls g_str_tokenize_and_fold() on both
 * @search_term and @potential_hit.  ASCII alternates are never taken
 * for @search_term but will be taken for @potential_hit according to
 * the value of @accept_alternates.
 *
 * A hit occurs when each folded token in @search_term is a prefix of a
 * folded token from @potential_hit.
 *
 * Depending on how you're performing the search, it will typically be
 * faster to call g_str_tokenize_and_fold() on each string in
 * your corpus and build an index on the returned folded tokens, then
 * call g_str_tokenize_and_fold() on the search term and
 * perform lookups into that index.
 *
 * As some examples, searching for "fred" would match the potential hit
 * "Smith, Fred" and also "Frédéric".  Searching for "Fréd" would match
 * "Frédéric" but not "Frederic" (due to the one-directional nature of
 * accent matching).  Searching "fo" would match "Foo" and "Bar Foo
 * Baz", but not "SFO" (because no word as "fo" as a prefix).
 *
 * Returns: %TRUE if @potential_hit is a hit
