psl_load_file ()

psl_ctx_t *
psl_load_file (const char *fname);

This function loads the public suffixes file named fname . To free the allocated resources, call psl_free().

The suffixes are expected to be UTF-8 encoded (lowercase + NFKC) if they are international.

Since: 0.1

psl_load_fp ()

psl_ctx_t *
psl_load_fp (FILE *fp);

This function loads the public suffixes from a FILE pointer. To free the allocated resources, call psl_free().

The suffixes are expected to be UTF-8 encoded (lowercase + NFKC) if they are international.

Since: 0.1

psl_latest ()

psl_ctx_t *
psl_latest (const char *fname);

This function loads the the latest available PSL data from either

If none of the above is available, the function returns NULL.

To free the allocated resources, call psl_free().

Since: 0.16

psl_builtin ()

const psl_ctx_t *
psl_builtin (void);

This function returns the PSL context that has been generated and built in at compile-time. You don't have to free the returned context explicitly.

The builtin data also contains punycode entries, one for each international domain name.

If the generation of built-in data has been disabled during compilation, NULL will be returned. When using the builtin psl context, you can provide UTF-8 (lowercase + NFKC) or ASCII/ACE (punycode) representations of domains to functions like psl_is_public_suffix().

psl_is_public_suffix ()

int
psl_is_public_suffix (const psl_ctx_t *psl,
                      const char *domain);

This function checks if domain is a public suffix by the means of the Mozilla Public Suffix List.

For cookie domain checking see psl_is_cookie_domain_acceptable().

type specifies the PSL section where to perform the lookup. Valid values are PSL_TYPE_PRIVATE, PSL_TYPE_ICANN, PSL_TYPE_NO_STAR_RULE, and PSL_TYPE_ANY.

PSL_TYPE_NO_STAR_RULE switches of the 'prevailing star rule' (see List under 'Algorithm' 2.). Applying the flag means that TLDs not explicitly listed in the PSL are *not* treated as public suffixes.

Since: 0.1

psl_suffix_count ()

Since: 0.1

psl_builtin_sha1sum ()

const char *
psl_builtin_sha1sum (void);

This function returns the SHA1 checksum of the Public Suffix List file that has been built in. The returned string is in lowercase hex encoding, e.g. "2af1e9e3044eda0678bb05949d7cca2f769901d8".

For international domain names both, hostname and cookie_domain , have to be either in UTF-8 (lowercase + NFKC) or in ASCII/ACE (punycode) format. Other encodings or mixing UTF-8 and punycode likely result in incorrect return values.

Use helper function psl_str_to_utf8lower() for normalization of hostname and cookie_domain .
