API Documentation

• void ISO639init() initializes ISO639Tree to perform fast search. This function will be called implicitily by other functions if needed so no need to call it separately
• const stuISO639Info& ISO639getInfo(const char* _code): is used to get corresponding struct based on input _code which can be in ISO639-1 OR ISO639-2/B OR ISO639-2/T standard notation. If required input is found will return a valid stuISO639 struct with corresponding fields else it will return a stuISO639 struct with all fields set to NULL
• bool ISO639isValid(const char* _code): checks wheter input code is valid ISO639 code or not
• const char* ISO639getAlpha2(const char* _code) Retrieve ISO639-1 code from input code if input is valid ISO639 code else return NULL
• const char* ISO639getAlpha3B(const char* _code) Retrieve ISO639-2/B code from input code if input is valid ISO639 else return NULL code
• const char* ISO639getAlpha3T(const char* _code) Retrieve ISO639-2/T code from input code if input is valid ISO639 else return NULL
• const char* ISO639getName(const char* _code) Retrieve ISO639 name from input code if input is valid ISO639 else return NULL
