# Codec registry and support functions

int PyCodec_Register(PyObject *search_function)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Register a new codec search function.

  As a side effect, this tries to load the `encodings` package, if not yet done, to make sure that it is always first in the list of search functions.

int PyCodec_Unregister(PyObject *search_function)
  Część stabilnego ABI od wersji 3.10.

  Unregister a codec search function and clear the registry’s cache. If the search function is not registered, do nothing. Return 0 on success. Raise an exception and return -1 on error.

  Dodane w wersji 3.10.

int PyCodec_KnownEncoding(const char *encoding)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Return `1` or `0` depending on whether there is a registered codec for the given encoding. This function always succeeds.

PyObject *PyCodec_Encode(PyObject *object, const char *encoding, const char *errors)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Generic codec based encoding API.

  object is passed through the encoder function found for the given encoding using the error handling method defined by errors. errors may be `NULL` to use the default method defined for the codec. Raises a `LookupError` if no encoder can be found.

PyObject *PyCodec_Decode(PyObject *object, const char *encoding, const char *errors)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Generic codec based decoding API.

  object is passed through the decoder function found for the given encoding using the error handling method defined by errors. errors may be `NULL` to use the default method defined for the codec. Raises a `LookupError` if no decoder can be found.

## Codec lookup API

In the following functions, the encoding string is looked up converted to all lower-case characters, which makes encodings looked up through this mechanism effectively case-insensitive. If no codec is found, a `KeyError` is set and `NULL` returned.

PyObject *PyCodec_Encoder(const char *encoding)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Get an encoder function for the given encoding.

PyObject *PyCodec_Decoder(const char *encoding)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Get a decoder function for the given encoding.

PyObject *PyCodec_IncrementalEncoder(const char *encoding, const char *errors)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Get an `IncrementalEncoder` object for the given encoding.

PyObject *PyCodec_IncrementalDecoder(const char *encoding, const char *errors)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Get an `IncrementalDecoder` object for the given encoding.

PyObject *PyCodec_StreamReader(const char *encoding, PyObject *stream, const char *errors)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Get a `StreamReader` factory function for the given encoding.

PyObject *PyCodec_StreamWriter(const char *encoding, PyObject *stream, const char *errors)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Get a `StreamWriter` factory function for the given encoding.

## Registry API for Unicode encoding error handlers

int PyCodec_RegisterError(const char *name, PyObject *error)
  Część stabilnego ABI.

  Register the error handling callback function error under the given name. This callback function will be called by a codec when it encounters unencodable characters/undecodable bytes and name is specified as the error parameter in the call to the encode/decode function.

  The callback gets a single argument, an instance of `UnicodeEncodeError`, `UnicodeDecodeError` or `UnicodeTranslateError` that holds information about the problematic sequence of characters or bytes and their offset in the original string (see Unicode Exception Objects for functions to extract this information). The callback must either raise the given exception, or return a two-item tuple containing the replacement for the problematic sequence, and an integer giving the offset in the original string at which encoding/decoding should be resumed.

  Return `0` on success, `-1` on error.

PyObject *PyCodec_LookupError(const char *name)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Lookup the error handling callback function registered under name. As a special case `NULL` can be passed, in which case the error handling callback for „strict” will be returned.

PyObject *PyCodec_StrictErrors(PyObject *exc)
  Wartość zwracana: zawsze NULL. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Raise exc as an exception.

PyObject *PyCodec_IgnoreErrors(PyObject *exc)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Ignore the unicode error, skipping the faulty input.

PyObject *PyCodec_ReplaceErrors(PyObject *exc)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Replace the unicode encode error with `?` or `U+FFFD`.

PyObject *PyCodec_XMLCharRefReplaceErrors(PyObject *exc)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Replace the unicode encode error with XML character references.

PyObject *PyCodec_BackslashReplaceErrors(PyObject *exc)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI.

  Replace the unicode encode error with backslash escapes (`\x`, `\u` and `\U`).

PyObject *PyCodec_NameReplaceErrors(PyObject *exc)
  Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja. Część stabilnego ABI od wersji 3.7.

  Replace the unicode encode error with `\N{...}` escapes.

  Dodane w wersji 3.5.

## Codec utility variables

const char *Py_hexdigits

  A string constant containing the lowercase hexadecimal digits: `"0123456789abcdef"`.

  Dodane w wersji 3.3.
