    29  * Shape Arabic text on a character basis.
       
    30  *
       
    31  * <p>This function performs basic operations for "shaping" Arabic text. It is most
       
    32  * useful for use with legacy data formats and legacy display technology
       
    33  * (simple terminals). All operations are performed on Unicode characters.</p>
       
    34  *
       
    35  * <p>Text-based shaping means that some character code points in the text are
       
    36  * replaced by others depending on the context. It transforms one kind of text
       
    37  * into another. In comparison, modern displays for Arabic text select
       
    38  * appropriate, context-dependent font glyphs for each text element, which means
       
    39  * that they transform text into a glyph vector.</p>
       
    40  *
       
    41  * <p>Text transformations are necessary when modern display technology is not
       
    42  * available or when text needs to be transformed to or from legacy formats that
       
    43  * use "shaped" characters. Since the Arabic script is cursive, connecting
       
    44  * adjacent letters to each other, computers select images for each letter based
       
    45  * on the surrounding letters. This usually results in four images per Arabic
       
    46  * letter: initial, middle, final, and isolated forms. In Unicode, on the other
       
    47  * hand, letters are normally stored abstract, and a display system is expected
       
    48  * to select the necessary glyphs. (This makes searching and other text
       
    49  * processing easier because the same letter has only one code.) It is possible
       
    50  * to mimic this with text transformations because there are characters in
       
    51  * Unicode that are rendered as letters with a specific shape
       
    52  * (or cursive connectivity). They were included for interoperability with
       
    53  * legacy systems and codepages, and for unsophisticated display systems.</p>
       
    54  *
       
    55  * <p>A second kind of text transformations is supported for Arabic digits:
       
    56  * For compatibility with legacy codepages that only include European digits,
       
    57  * it is possible to replace one set of digits by another, changing the
       
    58  * character code points. These operations can be performed for either
       
    59  * Arabic-Indic Digits (U+0660...U+0669) or Eastern (Extended) Arabic-Indic
       
    60  * digits (U+06f0...U+06f9).</p>
       
    61  *
       
    62  * <p>Some replacements may result in more or fewer characters (code points).
       
    63  * By default, this means that the destination buffer may receive text with a
       
    64  * length different from the source length. Some legacy systems rely on the
       
    65  * length of the text to be constant. They expect extra spaces to be added
       
    66  * or consumed either next to the affected character or at the end of the
       
    67  * text.</p>
       
    68  *
       
    69  * <p>For details about the available operations, see the description of the
       
    70  * <code>U_SHAPE_...</code> options.</p>

    73  *
       
    74  * @param sourceLength The number of UChars in <code>source</code>.
       
    75  *
       
    76  * @param dest The destination buffer that will receive the results of the
       
    77  *             requested operations. It may be <code>NULL</code> only if
       
    78  *             <code>destSize</code> is 0. The source and destination must not
       
    79  *             overlap.
       
    80  *
       
    81  * @param destSize The size (capacity) of the destination buffer in UChars.
       
    82  *                 If <code>destSize</code> is 0, then no output is produced,
       
    83  *                 but the necessary buffer size is returned ("preflighting").
       
    84  *
       
    85  * @param options This is a 32-bit set of flags that specify the operations
       
    86  *                that are performed on the input text. If no error occurs,
       
    87  *                then the result will always be written to the destination
       
    88  *                buffer.
       
    89  *
       
    90  * @param pErrorCode must be a valid pointer to an error code value,
       
    91  *        which must not indicate a failure before the function call.
       
    92  *
       
    93  * @return The number of UChars written to the destination buffer.
       
    94  *         If an error occured, then no output was written, or it may be
       
    95  *         incomplete. If <code>U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR</code> is set, then
       
    96  *         the return value indicates the necessary destination buffer size.
