iconv_open_into \- initialize descriptor for character set conversion
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <iconv.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "int iconv_open_into (const char* " tocode ", const char* " fromcode ","

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The \fBiconv_open_into\fP function initializes a conversion descriptor suitable
|
|
for converting byte sequences from character encoding \fIfromcode\fP to
|
|
character encoding \fItocode\fP. The conversion descriptor is stored in the
|
|
memory pointed to by \fIresultp\fP.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The values permitted for \fIfromcode\fP and \fItocode\fP are the same as for
|
|
the function \fBiconv_open\fP.
|
|
.PP
|
|
After a successful return from this function, \fIresultp\fP can be be used
|
|
as an \fBiconv_t\fP object with the \fBiconv\fP function.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
The \fBiconv_open_into\fP function fills \fB*\fP\fIresultp\fP and returns 0 if
|
|
it succeeds. In case of error, it sets \fBerrno\fP and returns \-1.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
The following error can occur, among others:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
The conversion from \fIfromcode\fP to \fItocode\fP is not supported by the
|
|
implementation.
|
|
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
|
|
This function is implemented only in GNU libiconv and not in other \fBiconv\fP
|
|
implementations. It is not backed by a standard. You can test for its presence
|
|
through \fB(_LIBICONV_VERSION >= 0x010D)\fP.
