## Member Function Documentation

## selectKey()

virtual void icu::message2::Selector::selectKey | ( | FormattedPlaceholder && | toFormat,
|  | FunctionOptions && | options,
|  | const UnicodeString * | keys,
|  | int32_t | keysLen,
|  | UnicodeString * | prefs,
|  | int32_t & | prefsLen,
|  | UErrorCode & | status
| ) |  | const

pure virtual

Compares the input to an array of keys, and returns an array of matching keys sorted by preference.

Parameters

  toFormat | The unnamed function argument; passed by move.
  options | A reference to the named function options.
  keys | An array of strings that are compared to the input (`context.getFormattableInput()`) in an implementation-specific way.
  keysLen | The length of `keys`.
  prefs | An array of strings with length `keysLen`. The contents of the array is undefined. `selectKey()` should set the contents of `prefs` to a subset of `keys`, with the best match placed at the lowest index.
  prefsLen | A reference that `selectKey()` should set to the length of `prefs`, which must be less than or equal to `keysLen`.
  status | Input/output error code. Should not be set directly by the custom selector, which should use `FormattingContext::setSelectorError()` to signal errors. The custom selector may pass `status` to other ICU functions that can signal errors using this mechanism.
