This behavior can be switched at any time using +ustring_set_cursor_motion(). + +.TP 4 +.BR ucstring_free() +This function will deallocate the memory used by the string, incuding the +string itself. + +.TP 4 +.BR ucstring_cursor_info() +This function will return the text position of the internal cursor and the +directionality of the text at that position. The position returned is the +original text position of the character. + +.TP 4 +.BR ucstring_set_cursor_motion() +This function will change the cursor motion type and return the previous +cursor motion type. + +.TP 4 +.BR ucstring_cursor_right() +This function will move the internal cursor to the right according to the +type of cursor motion set for the string. +.sp +If no cursor motion is performed, it returns 0.
