NAME
       PS_hyphenate -- Hyphenates a word

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<pslib.h>

       int PS_hyphenate(PSDoc *psdoc, const char *text,	char **hyphens)

DESCRIPTION
       Hyphenates the passed word. text	should not	       contain any non
       alpha	 characters.	 Possible    positions	  for	 breaks	   are
		      returned in hyphens.

       This  function  requires	 the  locale  category	LC_CTYPE  to  be   set
		    propperly.	PS_boot() usually does it by using the enviro-
       ment variables.

       PS_hyphenate() evaluates	the value 'hyphenminchars' and	the  parameter
		    `hyphendict'.  hyphendict  must be set before calling this
       function.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns -1 in case of an	error, and otherwise 0.
