<h2>DESCRIPTION
|
|
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The argument
|
|
<i>cd</i> must be a conversion descriptor created using the
|
|
function <b>iconv_open</b>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The main case
|
|
is when <i>inbuf</i> is not NULL and <i>*inbuf</i> is not
|
|
NULL. In this case, the <b>iconv</b> function converts the
|
|
multibyte sequence starting at <i>*inbuf</i> to a multibyte
|
|
sequence starting at <i>*outbuf</i>. At most
|
|
<i>*inbytesleft</i> bytes, starting at <i>*inbuf</i>, will
|
|
be read. At most <i>*outbytesleft</i> bytes, starting at
|
|
<i>*outbuf</i>, will be written.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
|
|
<b>iconv</b> function converts one multibyte character at a
|
|
time, and for each character conversion it increments
|
|
<i>*inbuf</i> and decrements <i>*inbytesleft</i> by the
|
|
number of converted input bytes, it increments
|
|
<i>*outbuf</i> and decrements <i>*outbytesleft</i> by the
|
|
number of converted output bytes, and it updates the
|
|
conversion state contained in <i>cd</i>. If the character
|
|
encoding of the input is stateful, the <b>iconv</b> function
|
|
can also convert a sequence of input bytes to an update of
|
|
the conversion state without producing any output bytes;
|
|
such input is called a <i>shift sequence</i>. The conversion
|
|
can stop for four reasons:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">1. An invalid
|
|
multibyte sequence is encountered in the input. In this case
|
|
it sets <b>errno</b> to <b>EILSEQ</b> and returns
|
|
(size_t)(−1). <i>*inbuf</i> is left pointing to the
|
|
beginning of the invalid multibyte sequence.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">2. The input
|
|
byte sequence has been entirely converted, i.e.
|
|
<i>*inbytesleft</i> has gone down to 0. In this case
|
|
<b>iconv</b> returns the number of non-reversible
|
|
conversions performed during this call.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">3. An
|
|
incomplete multibyte sequence is encountered in the input,
|
|
and the input byte sequence terminates after it. In this
|
|
case it sets <b>errno</b> to <b>EINVAL</b> and returns
|
|
(size_t)(−1). <i>*inbuf</i> is left pointing to the
|
|
beginning of the incomplete multibyte sequence.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">4. The output
|
|
buffer has no more room for the next converted character. In
|
|
this case it sets <b>errno</b> to <b>E2BIG</b> and returns
|
|
(size_t)(−1).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">A different
|
|
case is when <i>inbuf</i> is NULL or <i>*inbuf</i> is NULL,
|
|
but <i>outbuf</i> is not NULL and <i>*outbuf</i> is not
|
|
NULL. In this case, the <b>iconv</b> function attempts to
|
|
set <i>cd</i>’s conversion state to the initial state
|
|
and store a corresponding shift sequence at <i>*outbuf</i>.
|
|
At most <i>*outbytesleft</i> bytes, starting at
|
|
<i>*outbuf</i>, will be written. If the output buffer has no
|
|
more room for this reset sequence, it sets <b>errno</b> to
|
|
<b>E2BIG</b> and returns (size_t)(−1). Otherwise it
|
|
increments <i>*outbuf</i> and decrements
|
|
<i>*outbytesleft</i> by the number of bytes written.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">A third case is
|
|
when <i>inbuf</i> is NULL or <i>*inbuf</i> is NULL, and
|
|
<i>outbuf</i> is NULL or <i>*outbuf</i> is NULL. In this
|
|
case, the <b>iconv</b> function sets <i>cd</i>’s
|
|
conversion state to the initial state.</p>
