+NAME
+ iconv_open - allocate descriptor for character set con-
+ version
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ #include <iconv.h>
+
+ iconv_t iconv_open (const char* tocode, const char* fromcode);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ The iconv_open function allocates a conversion descrip-
+ tor suitable for converting byte sequences from charac-
+ ter encoding fromcode to character encoding tocode.
+
+ The values permitted for fromcode and tocode and the
+ supported combinations are system dependent. For the
+ libiconv library, the following encodings are supported,
+ in all combinations.
+
+ European languages
+ ASCII, ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,13,14,15,16},
+ KOI8-R, KOI8-U, KOI8-RU,
+ CP{1250,1251,1252,1253,1254,1257}, CP{850,866},
+ Mac{Roman,CentralEurope,Iceland,Croatian,Roma-
+ nia}, Mac{Cyrillic,Ukraine,Greek,Turkish}, Macin-
+ tosh
+
+ Semitic languages
+ ISO-8859-{6,8}, CP{1255,1256}, CP862,
+ Mac{Hebrew,Arabic}
+
+ Japanese
+ EUC-JP, SHIFT_JIS, CP932, ISO-2022-JP,
+ ISO-2022-JP-2, ISO-2022-JP-1
+
+ Chinese
+ EUC-CN, HZ, GBK, GB18030, EUC-TW, BIG5, CP950,
+ BIG5-HKSCS, ISO-2022-CN, ISO-2022-CN-EXT

+ Thai
+ TIS-620, CP874, MacThai
+
+ Laotian
+ MuleLao-1, CP1133
+
+ Vietnamese
+ VISCII, TCVN, CP1258
+
+ Platform specifics
+ HP-ROMAN8, NEXTSTEP
+
+ Full Unicode
+ UTF-8
+ UCS-2, UCS-2BE, UCS-2LE
+ UCS-4, UCS-4BE, UCS-4LE
+ UTF-16, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE
+ UTF-32, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE
+ UTF-7
+ C99, JAVA
+
+ Full Unicode, in terms of uint16_t or uint32_t
+ (with machine dependent endianness and alignment)
+ UCS-2-INTERNAL, UCS-4-INTERNAL
+
+ Locale dependent, in terms of char or wchar_t
+ (with machine dependent endianness and alignment,
+ and with semantics depending on the OS and the
+ current LC_CTYPE locale facet)
+ char, wchar_t
+
+ When configured with the option --enable-extra-encod-
+ ings, it also provides support for a few extra encod-
+ ings:
+
+ European languages
+ CP{437,737,775,852,853,855,857,858,860,861,863,865,869,1125}
+
+ Semitic languages
+ CP864
+
+ Japanese
+ EUC-JISX0213, Shift_JISX0213, ISO-2022-JP-3
+
+ Turkmen
+ TDS565
+
+ Platform specifics
+ RISCOS-LATIN1
+
+ The empty encoding name "" is equivalent to "char": it
+ denotes the locale dependent character encoding.
+
+ When the string "//TRANSLIT" is appended to tocode,
+ transliteration is activated. This means that when a
+ character cannot be represented in the target character
+ set, it can be approximated through one or several simi-
+ larly looking characters.
+
+ When the string "//IGNORE" is appended to tocode, char-
+ acters that cannot be represented in the target charac-
+ ter set will be silently discarded.
+
+ The resulting conversion descriptor can be used with
+ iconv any number of times. It remains valid until deal-
+ located using iconv_close.
+
+ A conversion descriptor contains a conversion state.
+ After creation using iconv_open, the state is in the
+ initial state. Using iconv modifies the descriptor's
+ conversion state. (This implies that a conversion
+ descriptor can not be used in multiple threads simulta-
+ neously.) To bring the state back to the initial state,
+ use iconv with NULL as inbuf argument.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+ The iconv_open function returns a freshly allocated con-
+ version descriptor. In case of error, it sets errno and
+ returns (iconv_t)(-1).
+
+ERRORS
+ The following error can occur, among others:
+
+ EINVAL The conversion from fromcode to tocode is not
+ supported by the implementation.
