# DESCRIPTION
Cells make up the framebuffer associated with each plane, with one cell per
addressable coordinate. You should not usually need to interact directly
with cells.
Each **cell** contains exactly one extended grapheme cluster. If the EGC
is encoded in UTF-8 with four or fewer bytes (all Unicode codepoints as of
Unicode 13 can be encoded in no more than four UTF-8 bytes), it is encoded
directly into the **cell**'s **gcluster** field, and no additional storage
is necessary. Otherwise, the EGC is stored as a nul-terminated UTF-8 string in
some backing egcpool. Egcpools are associated with **ncplane**s, so **cell**s
must be considered associated with **ncplane**s. Indeed, **ncplane_erase()**
destroys the backing storage for all a plane's cells, invalidating them. This
association is formed at the time of **cell_load()**, **cell_prime()**, or
**cell_duplicate()**. All of these functions first call **cell_release()**, as
does **cell_load_simple()**. When done using a **cell** entirely, call
**cell_release()**. **ncplane_destroy()** will free up the memory used by the
**cell**, but the backing egcpool has a maximum size of 16MiB, and failure to
release **cell**s can eventually block new output.
**cell_extended_gcluster** provides a nul-terminated handle to the EGC. This
ought be considered invalidated by changes to the **cell** or **egcpool**.
The handle is **not** heap-allocated; do **not** attempt to **free(3)** it.
A heap-allocated copy can be acquired with **cell_strdup**.
# RETURN VALUES
**cell_load()** and similar functions return the number of bytes loaded from the
EGC, or -1 on failure. They can fail due to either an invalid UTF-8 input, or the
backing egcpool reaching its maximum size.
**cell_set_fg_rgb8()** and similar functions will return -1 if provided invalid
inputs, and 0 otherwise.
