An invalid multibyte sequence is encountered in the input. In this case +it sets \fBerrno\fP to \fBEILSEQ\fP and returns (size_t)(\-1). \fI*inbuf\fP +is left pointing to the beginning of the invalid multibyte sequence. +.PP +2. The input byte sequence has been entirely converted, i.e. \fI*inbytesleft\fP +has gone down to 0. In this case \fBiconv\fP returns the number of +non-reversible conversions performed during this call. +.PP +3. An incomplete multibyte sequence is encountered in the input, and the +input byte sequence terminates after it. In this case it sets \fBerrno\fP to +\fBEINVAL\fP and returns (size_t)(\-1). \fI*inbuf\fP is left pointing to the +beginning of the incomplete multibyte sequence. +.PP +4. The output buffer has no more room for the next converted character. In +this case it sets \fBerrno\fP to \fBE2BIG\fP and returns (size_t)(\-1). +.PP +A different case is when \fIinbuf\fP is NULL or \fI*inbuf\fP is NULL, but +\fIoutbuf\fP is not NULL and \fI*outbuf\fP is not NULL. In this case, the +\fBiconv\fP function attempts to set \fIcd\fP's conversion state to the +initial state and store a corresponding shift sequence at \fI*outbuf\fP. +At most \fI*outbytesleft\fP bytes, starting at \fI*outbuf\fP, will be written. +If the output buffer has no more room for this reset sequence, it sets +\fBerrno\fP to \fBE2BIG\fP and returns (size_t)(\-1). Otherwise it increments +\fI*outbuf\fP and decrements \fI*outbytesleft\fP by the number of bytes +written. +.PP +A third case is when \fIinbuf\fP is NULL or \fI*inbuf\fP is NULL, and +\fIoutbuf\fP is NULL or \fI*outbuf\fP is NULL. In this case, the \fBiconv\fP +function sets \fIcd\fP's conversion state to the initial state. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +The \fBiconv\fP function returns the number of characters converted in a +non-reversible way during this call; reversible conversions are not counted. +In case of error, it sets \fBerrno\fP and returns (size_t)(\-1). +.SH ERRORS +The following errors can occur, among others: +.TP +.B E2BIG +There is not sufficient room at \fI*outbuf\fP. +.TP +.B EILSEQ +An invalid multibyte sequence has been encountered in the input. +.TP +.B EINVAL +An incomplete multibyte sequence has been encountered in the input. +.SH "CONFORMING TO" +POSIX:2001 +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR iconv_open (3), +.BR iconvctl (3) +.BR iconv_close (3) |
