UNICODE::ICONVERT::C(3)	    Courier Unicode Library    UNICODE::ICONVERT::C(3)

NAME
       unicode::iconvert::convert, unicode::ucs_4, unicode::ucs_2,
       unicode::utf_8, unicode::iso_8859_1 - unicode character set conversion

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<courier-unicode.h>

       extern const char unicode::ucs_4[];
       extern const char unicode::ucs_2[];
       extern const char unicode::utf_8[];
       extern const char unicode::iso_8859_1[];

       std::string unicode::iconvert::convert(const std::string	&text,
					      const std::string	&srccharset,
					      const std::string	&dstcharset);

       std::string unicode::iconvert::convert(const std::string	&text,
					      const std::string	&srccharset,
					      const std::string	&dstcharset,
					      bool &errflag);

       std::string
					      unicode::iconvert::convert(const std::vector<char32_t> &text,
					      const std::string	&dstcharset);

       std::string
					      unicode::iconvert::convert(const std::vector<char32_t> &text,
					      const std::string	&dstcharset,
					      bool &errflag);

       bool unicode::iconvert::convert(const std::string &text,
				       const std::string &charset,
				       std::vector<char32_t> &text);

DESCRIPTION
       The overloaded unicode::convert::convert() functions convert:

       •   A text string between two different character sets, returning the
	   new string.

       •   A vector of unicode characters (not null-terminated)	to a character
	   string in a supported character set.

       •   Initialize a	vector of unicode characters, passed by	reference, by
	   converting a	text string in a given character set to	unicode.

       These functions use iconv(3), and can use any character set that's
       supported by iconv(3). Use unicode::ucs_2 and unicode::ucs_4 to specify
       the 16 and the 32 bit unicode octet in native byte order. Use
       unicode::utf_8 and unicode::iso_8859_1 to specify these two standard
       character sets. The overloaded versions that pass a reference to	a bool
       set the flag to true if some characters could not be converted. The
       overloaded version that initializes a unicode vector returns the	bool
       flag, instead.
