-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.

- ASCII, ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,13,14,15,16},

- char, wchar_t

- When configured with the option --enable-extra-encod-
- ings, it also provides support for a few extra encod-
- ings:
-
- European languages

-
- 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.
