All functions using string parameters or string return values are available in wide and in ASCII versions.

The function names marked with a trailing T are mapped to the following variants.

• Microsoft Windows without _UNICODE defined: ASCII version
• Microsoft Windows with _UNICODE defined: UNICODE version
• Linux and UNIX without _UNICODE defined: UTF-8
• Linux and UNIX with _UNICODE defined: UTF-8

Use the *T functions whenever possible. It helps you to write portable code. Do not #define _UNICODE on Linux or UNIX. It is simply not needed (and not supported) because TFORMer SDK on these platforms uses UTF-8 in each case.
