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  * Note: The locale keyword "lb" can be used to modify line break
49  * behavior according to the CSS level 3 line-break options, see
50  * <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text/#line-breaking>. For example:
51  * "ja@lb=strict", "zh@lb=loose".
52  * <p>
53  * Sentence boundary analysis allows selection with correct
54  * interpretation of periods within numbers and abbreviations, and
55  * trailing punctuation marks such as quotation marks and parentheses.
56  * <p>
57  * Note: The locale keyword "ss" can be used to enable use of
58  * segmentation suppression data (preventing breaks in English after
59  * abbreviations such as "Mr." or "Est.", for example), as follows:
60  * "en@ss=standard".
61  * <p>
62  * Word boundary analysis is used by search and replace functions, as
63  * well as within text editing applications that allow the user to
64  * select words with a double click. Word selection provides correct
65  * interpretation of punctuation marks within and following
66  * words. Characters that are not part of a word, such as symbols or
67  * punctuation marks, have word-breaks on both sides.
68  * <p>
69  * Character boundary analysis identifies the boundaries of
70  * "Extended Grapheme Clusters", which are groupings of codepoints
71  * that should be treated as character-like units for many text operations.
72  * Please see Unicode Standard Annex #29, Unicode Text Segmentation,
73  * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/ for additional information
74  * on grapheme clusters and guidelines on their use.
75  * <p>
76  * Title boundary analysis locates all positions,
77  * typically starts of words, that should be set to Title Case
78  * when title casing the text.
79  * <p>
80  * The text boundary positions are found according to the rules
81  * described in Unicode Standard Annex #29, Text Boundaries, and
82  * Unicode Standard Annex #14, Line Breaking Properties.  These
83  * are available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/ and
84  * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/.
85  * <p>
86  * In addition to the plain C API defined in this header file, an
87  * object oriented C++ API with equivalent functionality is defined in the
88  * file brkiter.h.
89  * <p>
90  * Code snippets illustrating the use of the Break Iterator APIs
91  * are available in the ICU User Guide,
92  * http://icu-project.org/userguide/boundaryAnalysis.html
93  * and in the sample program icu/source/samples/break/break.cpp

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

530   *  Note that the break iterator never copies the underlying text
531   *  of a string being processed, but always operates directly on the original text
532   *  provided by the user. Refreshing simply drops the references to the old text
533   *  and replaces them with references to the new.
534   *
535   *  Caution:  this function is normally used only by very specialized
536   *            system-level code.   One example use case is with garbage collection
