\arguments{
\item{type}{single string; either the break iterator type, one of \code{character},
\code{line_break}, \code{sentence}, \code{word};
or a custom set of ICU break iteration rules.
see \link{stringi-search-boundaries}}

\item{locale}{single string, \code{NULL} or \code{''} for default locale}

\item{skip_word_none}{logical; perform no action for 'words' that
do not fit into any other categories}

\item{skip_word_number}{logical; perform no action for words that
appear to be numbers}

\item{skip_word_letter}{logical; perform no action for words that
contain letters, excluding hiragana, katakana, or ideographic characters}

\item{skip_word_kana}{logical; perform no action for words
containing kana characters}

\item{skip_word_ideo}{logical; perform no action for words
containing ideographic characters}

\item{skip_line_soft}{logical; perform no action for soft line breaks,
i.e., positions where a line break is acceptable but not required}

\item{skip_line_hard}{logical; perform no action for hard,
or mandatory line breaks}

\item{skip_sentence_term}{logical; perform no action for sentences
ending with a sentence terminator ('\code{.}', '\code{,}', '\code{?}',
'\code{!}'), possibly followed by a hard separator
(\code{CR}, \code{LF}, \code{PS}, etc.)}

\item{skip_sentence_sep}{logical; perform no action for sentences
that do not contain an ending sentence terminator, but are ended
by a hard separator or end of input}

\item{...}{[DEPRECATED] any other arguments passed to this function
generate a warning; this argument will be removed in the future}
}
\value{
Returns a named list object.
Omitted \code{skip_*} values act as they have been set to \code{FALSE}.
}
\description{
A convenience function to tune the \pkg{ICU} \code{BreakIterator}'s behavior
in some text boundary analysis functions, see
\link{stringi-search-boundaries}.
}
\details{
The \code{skip_*} family of settings may be used to prevent performing
any special actions on particular types of text boundaries, e.g.,
in case of the \code{\link{stri_locate_all_boundaries}} and
\code{\link{stri_split_boundaries}} functions.

Note that custom break iterator rules (advanced users only)
should be specified as a single string.
For a detailed description of the syntax of RBBI rules, please refer
to the ICU User Guide on Boundary Analysis.
