# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| perl-Text-CharWidth: perl-Text-CharWidth (Column Computer) perl-Text-CharWidth: perl-Text-CharWidth: This perl module, Text::CharWidth, gets number of occupied columns of perl-Text-CharWidth: a string on a terminal. perl-Text-CharWidth: This module supplies features similar as wcwidth(3) and wcswidth(3) perl-Text-CharWidth: in C language. perl-Text-CharWidth: It computes number of columns ocuuied on the terminal by a text perl-Text-CharWidth: string, which is not always equal to its number of characters and perl-Text-CharWidth: depends on the encoding used. perl-Text-CharWidth: perl-Text-CharWidth: Parameters are to be given in locale encoding, not always in UTF-8.
