ICONV_OPEN_INTO(3)	   Linux Programmer's Manual	    ICONV_OPEN_INTO(3)

NAME
       iconv_open_into - initialize descriptor for character set conversion

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<iconv.h>

       int iconv_open_into (const char*	tocode,	const char* fromcode,
			    iconv_allocation_t*	resultp);

DESCRIPTION
       The  iconv_open_into function initializes a conversion descriptor suit-
       able for	converting byte	sequences from character encoding fromcode  to
       character  encoding tocode.  The	conversion descriptor is stored	in the
       memory pointed to by resultp.

       The values permitted for	fromcode and tocode are	the same  as  for  the
       function	iconv_open.

       After a successful return from this function, resultp can be be used as
       an iconv_t object with the iconv	function.

RETURN VALUE
       The  iconv_open_into  function  fills *resultp and returns 0 if it suc-
       ceeds. In case of error,	it sets	errno and returns -1.

ERRORS
       The following error can occur, among others:

       EINVAL The conversion from fromcode to tocode is	not supported  by  the
	      implementation.

CONFORMING TO
       This  function  is  implemented	only  in GNU libiconv and not in other
       iconv implementations. It is not	backed by a standard. You can test for
       its presence through (_LIBICONV_VERSION >= 0x010D).
