# [NAME](#NAME)

tld\_check\_8z - API function

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**#include <tld.h>**

**int tld\_check\_8z(const char * in, size\_t * errpos, const Tld\_table \** overrides);**

# [ARGUMENTS](#ARGUMENTS)

[const char * in](#const)

Zero-terminated UTF8 string to process.

[size\_t * errpos](#size_t)

Position of offending character is returned here.

[const Tld\_table \** overrides](#const~2)

A **Tld\_table** array of additional domain restriction structures that complement and supersede the built-in information.

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

Test each of the characters in *in* for whether or not they are allowed by the information in *overrides* or by the built-in TLD restriction data. When data for the same TLD is available both internally and in *overrides* , the information in *overrides* takes precedence. If several entries for a specific TLD are found, the first one is used. If *overrides* is **NULL**, only the built-in information is used. The position of the first offending character is returned in *errpos* . Note that the error position refers to the decoded character offset rather than the byte position in the string.

Return value: Returns the **Tld\_rc** value **TLD\_SUCCESS** if all characters are valid or when *tld* is null, **TLD\_INVALID** if a character is not allowed, or additional error codes on general failure conditions.
