.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn iconv_open
|
|
function opens a converter from the codeset
|
|
.Fa srcname
|
|
to the codeset
|
|
.Fa dstname
|
|
and returns its descriptor.
|
|
The arguments
|
|
.Fa srcname
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa dstname
|
|
accept "" and "char", which refer to the current locale encoding.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn iconv_open_into
|
|
creates a conversion descriptor on a preallocated space.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ft iconv_allocation_t
|
|
is used as a spaceholder type when allocating such space.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa dstname
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa srcname
|
|
arguments are the same as in the case of
|
|
.Fn iconv_open .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa ptr
|
|
argument is a pointer of
|
|
.Ft iconv_allocation_t
|
|
to the preallocated space.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn iconv_close
|
|
function closes the specified converter
|
|
.Fa cd .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn iconv
|
|
function converts the string in the buffer
|
|
.Fa *src
|
|
of length
|
|
.Fa *srcleft
|
|
bytes and stores the converted string in the buffer
|
|
.Fa *dst
|
|
of size
|
|
.Fa *dstleft
|
|
bytes.
|
|
After calling
|
|
.Fn iconv ,
|
|
the values pointed to by
|
|
.Fa src ,
|
|
.Fa srcleft ,
|
|
.Fa dst ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa dstleft
|
|
are updated as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 01234567
|
|
.It *src
|
|
Pointer to the byte just after the last character fetched.
|
|
.It *srcleft
|
|
Number of remaining bytes in the source buffer.
|
|
.It *dst
|
|
Pointer to the byte just after the last character stored.
|
|
.It *dstleft
|
|
Number of remainder bytes in the destination buffer.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa *src
|
|
contains a byte sequence which is not a valid character in the source
|
|
codeset, the conversion stops just after the last successful conversion.
|
|
If the output buffer is too small to store the converted
|
|
character, the conversion also stops in the same way.
|
|
In these cases, the values pointed to by
|
|
.Fa src ,
|
|
.Fa srcleft ,
|
|
.Fa dst ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa dstleft
|
|
are updated to the state just after the last successful conversion.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa *src
|
|
contains a character which is valid under the source codeset but
|
|
can not be converted to the destination codeset,
|
|
the character is replaced by an
|
|
.Dq invalid character
|
|
which depends on the destination codeset, e.g.,
|
|
.Sq \&? ,
|
|
and the conversion is continued.
|
|
.Fn iconv
|
|
returns the number of such
|
|
.Dq invalid conversions .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are two special cases of
|
|
.Fn iconv :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 0123
|
|
.It "src == NULL || *src == NULL"
|
|
If the source and/or destination codesets are stateful,
|
|
.Fn iconv
|
|
places these into their initial state.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If both
|
|
.Fa dst
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa *dst
|
|
are
|
|
.No non- Ns Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fn iconv
|
|
stores the shift sequence for the destination switching to the initial state
|
|
in the buffer pointed to by
|
|
.Fa *dst .
|
|
The buffer size is specified by the value pointed to by
|
|
.Fa dstleft
|
|
as above.
|
|
.Fn iconv
|
|
will fail if the buffer is too small to store the shift sequence.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On the other hand,
|
|
.Fa dst
|
|
or
|
|
.Fa *dst
|
|
may be
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
In this case, the shift sequence for the destination switching
|
|
to the initial state is discarded.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn __iconv
|
|
function works just like
|
|
.Fn iconv
|
|
but if
|
|
.Fn iconv
|
|
fails, the invalid character count is lost there.
|
|
This is a not bug rather a limitation of
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2008 ,
|
|
so
|
|
.Fn __iconv
|
|
is provided as an alternative but non-standard interface.
|
|
It also has a flags argument, where currently the following
|
|
flags can be passed:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 0123
|
|
.It __ICONV_F_HIDE_INVALID
|
|
Skip invalid characters, instead of returning with an error.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion of
|
|
.Fn iconv_open ,
|
|
it returns a conversion descriptor.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Fn iconv_open
|
|
returns (iconv_t)\-1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon successful completion of
|
|
.Fn iconv_open_into ,
|
|
it returns 0.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Fn iconv_open_into
|
|
returns \-1, and sets errno to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon successful completion of
|
|
.Fn iconv_close ,
|
|
it returns 0.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Fn iconv_close
|
|
returns \-1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon successful completion of
|
|
.Fn iconv ,
|
|
it returns the number of
|
|
.Dq invalid
|
|
conversions.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Fn iconv
|
|
returns (size_t)\-1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
