# fribidi\_get\_bracket\_types(3)

get bracketed characters

## NAME

fribidi\_get\_bracket\_types - get bracketed characters

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<../fribidi/lib/fribidi.h\>**

**void fribidi\_get\_bracket\_types**\
 **(**\
\
 	**const FriBidiChar \*str,**\
\
 	**const FriBidiStrIndex len,**\
\
 	**const FriBidiCharType \*types,**\
\
 	**FriBidiBracketType \*btypes**\
 **);**

## PARAMETERS

- **const FriBidiChar \*str**

  Input string.

- **const FriBidiStrIndex len**

  Input string length.

- **const FriBidiCharType \*types**

  Input bidi types.

  Since there are 23 possible values for a **const FriBidiCharType**, they are not all listed here.

- **FriBidiBracketType \*btypes**

  Output bracketed characters.

## DESCRIPTION

This function finds the bracketed characters of a string of characters. See fribidi\_get\_bracket() for more information about the bracketed characters returned by this function.
