22 * These functions are like the C library's mbtowc() and wctomb(),
23 * but instead of depending on the locale they always work in UTF-8,
24 * and they use int instead of wchar_t.
27 int utf8_mbtowc(int *pwc, const char *s, size_t n);
28 int utf8_wctomb(char *s, int wc);
31 * This is an object-oriented version of mbtowc() and wctomb().
32 * The caller first uses charset_find() to get a pointer to struct
33 * charset, then uses the mbtowc() and wctomb() methods on it.
34 * The function charset_max() gives the maximum length of a
35 * multibyte character in that encoding.
36 * This API is only appropriate for stateless encodings like UTF-8
37 * or ISO-8859-3, but I have no intention of implementing anything
38 * other than UTF-8 and 8-bit encodings.
40 * MINOR BUG: If there is no memory charset_find() may return 0 and
41 * there is no way to distinguish this case from an unknown encoding.

53 * Function to convert a buffer from one encoding to another.
54 * Invalid bytes are replaced by '#', and characters that are
55 * not available in the target encoding are replaced by '?'.
56 * Each of TO and TOLEN may be zero if the result is not wanted.
57 * The input or output may contain null bytes, but the output
58 * buffer is also null-terminated, so it is all right to
59 * use charset_convert(fromcode, tocode, s, strlen(s), &t, 0).
63 * -2 : memory allocation failed
64 * -1 : unknown encoding
65 * 0 : data was converted exactly
66 * 1 : valid data was converted approximately (using '?')
67 * 2 : input was invalid (but still converted, using '#')
