+
+.TP 4
+.BR ucstring_create()
+This function will create a reordered string by using the implicit
+directionality of the characters in the specified substring.
+.sp
+The `default_direction' parameter should be one of UCPGBA_LTR or UCPGBA_RTL
+and is used only in cases where a string contains no characters with strong
+directionality.
+.sp
+The `cursor_motion' parameter should be one of UCPGBA_CURSOR_VISUAL or
+UCPGBA_CURSOR_LOGICAL, and is used to specify the initial cursor motion
+behavior. 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. Otherwise it will return a 1.
+
+.TP 4
+.BR ucstring_cursor_left()
+This function will move the internal cursor to the left according to the
+type of cursor motion set for the string.
+.sp
+If no cursor motion is performed, it returns 0. Otherwise it will return a 1.
