kiconv(3)

NAME

     kiconv_add_xlat16_cspair, kiconv_add_xlat16_cspairs,
     kiconv_add_xlat16_table -- kernel side iconv library

LIBRARY

     Kernel side iconv library (libkiconv, -lkiconv)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/iconv.h>

     int
     kiconv_add_xlat16_cspair(const char *tocode, const char *fromcode,
	 int flag);

     int
     kiconv_add_xlat16_cspairs(const char *foreigncode,
	 const char *localcode);

     int
     kiconv_add_xlat16_table(const char *tocode, const char *fromcode,
	 const void *data, int datalen);

DESCRIPTION

     The kiconv library provides multi-byte character conversion tables for
     kernel side iconv service.

     The kiconv_add_xlat16_cspair() function defines a conversion table using
     iconv(3) between fromcode charset and tocode charset.  You can specify
     flag to determine if tolower(3) / toupper(3) conversion is included in
     the table.  The flag has following values.

     KICONV_LOWER
     KICONV_FROM_LOWER	It generates a tolower table in addition to a charac-
			ter conversion table.  The difference between two is
			tolower tocode or tolower fromcode.
     KICONV_UPPER
     KICONV_FROM_UPPER	It generates a toupper table in addition to a charac-
			ter conversion table.  The difference between two is
			toupper tocode or toupper fromcode.

     A tolower/toupper conversion is limited to single-byte characters.

     The kiconv_add_xlat16_cspairs() function defines two conversion tables
     which are from localcode to foreigncode and from foreigncode to
     localcode.  These conversion tables also contain both tolower and toupper
     tables.

     The kiconv_add_xlat16_table() function defines a conversion table
     directly pointed by data whose length is datalen, not using iconv(3).
