* Package name : node-wcwidth.js Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Woong Jun <woong....@gmail.com> (http://code.woong.org/) * URL : http://code.woong.org/wcwidth.js * License : Expat Programming Lang: JavaScript Description : wcwidth.js is javascript porting of C's wcwidth() wcwidth.js is a simple javascript porting of wcwidth() implemented in C by Markus Kuhn. . wcwidth() and its string version, wcswidth() are defined by IEEE Std 1002.1-2001, a.k.a. POSIX.1-2001, and return the number of columns used to represent a wide character and string on fixed-width output devices like terminals. Markus's implementation assumes wide characters to be encoded in ISO 10646, which is almost true for JavaScript; almost because JavaScript uses UCS-2 and has problems with surrogate pairs. wcwidth.js converts surrogate pairs to Unicode code points to handle them correctly. . Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
