35  * \brief C API: BreakIterator
36  *
37  * <h2> BreakIterator C API </h2>
38  *
39  * The BreakIterator C API defines  methods for finding the location
40  * of boundaries in text. Pointer to a UBreakIterator maintain a
41  * current position and scan over text returning the index of characters
42  * where boundaries occur.
43  * <p>
44  * Line boundary analysis determines where a text string can be broken
45  * when line-wrapping. The mechanism correctly handles punctuation and
46  * hyphenated words.
47  * <p>
48  * Sentence boundary analysis allows selection with correct
49  * interpretation of periods within numbers and abbreviations, and
50  * trailing punctuation marks such as quotation marks and parentheses.
51  * <p>
52  * Word boundary analysis is used by search and replace functions, as
53  * well as within text editing applications that allow the user to
54  * select words with a double click. Word selection provides correct
55  * interpretation of punctuation marks within and following
56  * words. Characters that are not part of a word, such as symbols or
57  * punctuation marks, have word-breaks on both sides.
58  * <p>
59  * Character boundary analysis identifies the boundaries of
60  * "Extended Grapheme Clusters", which are groupings of codepoints
61  * that should be treated as character-like units for many text operations.
62  * Please see Unicode Standard Annex #29, Unicode Text Segmentation,
63  * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/ for additional information
64  * on grapheme clusters and guidelines on their use.
65  * <p>
66  * Title boundary analysis locates all positions,
67  * typically starts of words, that should be set to Title Case
68  * when title casing the text.
69  * <p>
70  * The text boundary positions are found according to the rules
71  * described in Unicode Standard Annex #29, Text Boundaries, and
72  * Unicode Standard Annex #14, Line Breaking Properties.  These
73  * are available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/ and
74  * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/.
75  * <p>
76  * In addition to the plain C API defined in this header file, an
77  * object oriented C++ API with equivalent functionality is defined in the
78  * file brkiter.h.
79  * <p>
80  * Code snippets illustrating the use of the Break Iterator APIs
81  * are available in the ICU User Guide,
82  * http://icu-project.org/userguide/boundaryAnalysis.html
83  * and in the sample program icu/source/samples/break/break.cpp

513   *  This function is intended for use in environments where ICU is operating on
514   *  strings that may move around in memory.  It provides a mechanism for notifying
515   *  ICU that the string has been relocated, and providing a new UText to access the
516   *  string in its new position.

518   *  Note that the break iterator never copies the underlying text
519   *  of a string being processed, but always operates directly on the original text
520   *  provided by the user. Refreshing simply drops the references to the old text
521   *  and replaces them with references to the new.
522   *
523   *  Caution:  this function is normally used only by very specialized
524   *            system-level code.   One example use case is with garbage collection
