NAME

Text::Bidi::Constants - Constants for Text::Bidi

VERSION

version 2.12

DESCRIPTION

This module provides various constants defined by the fribidi library. They can be used with some of the low-level functions in Text::Bidi, such as ``get_bidi_types'' in Text::Bidi, but are of little interest as far as standard usage is concerned.

Note that, though these are variables, they are read-only.

*

Constants of the form

FRIBIDI_TYPE_FOO

are available as $Text::Bidi::Type::FOO. See fribidi_get_bidi_type(3) for possible constants.

*

Constants of the form

FRIBIDI_MASK_FOO

are converted to $Text::Bidi::Mask::FOO. See fribidi-bidi-types.h for possible masks and how to use them.

*

Constants of the form

FRIBIDI_PAR_FOO

are converted to $Text::Bidi::Par::FOO. See fribidi_get_par_embedding_levels(3) for possible constants.

*

Constants of the form

FRIBIDI_FLAG_FOO

or

FRIBIDI_FLAGS_FOO

are converted to $Text::Bidi::Flag::FOO or $Text::Bidi::Flag::FOO. See fribidi_reorder_line(3) and fribidi_shape(3) for possible constants. As a special case,

FRIBIDI_FLAGS_ARABIC

is also available as $Text::Bidi::Flag::ARABIC

*

Constants of the form

FRIBIDI_JOINING_TYPE_FOO

are converted to $Text::Bidi::Joining::FOO. See fribidi_get_joining_type(3) for possible constants.

*

Constants of the form

FRIBIDI_CHAR_FOO

are converted to the character they represent, and assigned to $Text::Bidi::Char::FOO. See fribidi-unicode.h for possible constants.
