<a name="g-mime-iconv"></a><h3>g_mime_iconv()</h3>
<pre class="programlisting">#define g_mime_iconv(cd,inbuf,inleft,outbuf,outleft)</pre>
<p>The argument <em class="parameter"><code>cd</code></em>
must be a conversion descriptor created using the
function <a class="link" href="gmime-gmime-iconv.html#g-mime-iconv-open" title="g_mime_iconv_open ()"><span class="type">g_mime_iconv_open</span></a>.</p>
<p>The main case is when <em class="parameter"><code>inbuf</code></em>
is not <code class="literal">NULL</code> and *inbuf is not
<code class="literal">NULL</code>. In this case, the <a class="link" href="gmime-gmime-iconv.html#g-mime-iconv" title="g_mime_iconv()"><span class="type">g_mime_iconv</span></a> function converts the
multibyte sequence starting at *inbuf to a multibyte sequence
starting at *outbuf. At most *inleft bytes, starting at *inbuf,
will be read. At most *outleft bytes, starting at *outbuf, will
be written.</p>
<p>The <a class="link" href="gmime-gmime-iconv.html#g-mime-iconv" title="g_mime_iconv()"><span class="type">g_mime_iconv</span></a> function converts one multibyte character at a
time, and for each character conversion it increments *inbuf and
decrements *inleft by the number of converted input bytes, it
increments *outbuf and decrements *outleft by the number of
converted output bytes, and it updates the conversion state
contained in <em class="parameter"><code>cd</code></em>
. The conversion can stop for four reasons:</p>
<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
<li class="listitem"><p>An invalid multibyte sequence is encountered in the input. In
this case it sets errno to <code class="literal">EILSEQ</code> and returns (size_t)(-1).
*inbuf is left pointing to the beginning of the invalid multibyte
sequence.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>The input byte sequence has been entirely converted, i.e.
*inleft has gone down to <code class="literal">0</code>. In this case <a class="link" href="gmime-gmime-iconv.html#g-mime-iconv" title="g_mime_iconv()"><span class="type">g_mime_iconv</span></a> returns
the number of non-reversible conversions performed during this
call.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>An incomplete multibyte sequence is encountered in the input,
and the input byte sequence terminates after it. In this case it
sets errno to <code class="literal">EINVAL</code> and returns (size_t)(-1). *inbuf is left
pointing to the beginning of the incomplete multibyte sequence.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>The output buffer has no more room for the next converted
character. In this case it sets errno to <code class="literal">E2BIG</code> and returns
(size_t)(-1).</p></li>
</ol></div>
<p>A different case is when <em class="parameter"><code>inbuf</code></em>
is <code class="literal">NULL</code> or *inbuf is <code class="literal">NULL</code>, but
<em class="parameter"><code>outbuf</code></em>
is not <code class="literal">NULL</code> and *outbuf is not <code class="literal">NULL</code>. In this case, the
<a class="link" href="gmime-gmime-iconv.html#g-mime-iconv" title="g_mime_iconv()"><span class="type">g_mime_iconv</span></a> function attempts to set <em class="parameter"><code>cd</code></em>
's conversion state to
the initial state and store a corresponding shift sequence at
*outbuf. At most *outleft bytes, starting at *outbuf, will be
written. If the output buffer has no more room for this reset
sequence, it sets errno to <code class="literal">E2BIG</code> and returns (size_t)(-1).
Otherwise it increments *outbuf and decrements *outleft by the
number of bytes written.</p>
<p>A third case is when <em class="parameter"><code>inbuf</code></em>
is <code class="literal">NULL</code> or *inbuf is <code class="literal">NULL</code>, and
<em class="parameter"><code>outbuf</code></em>
is <code class="literal">NULL</code> or *outbuf is <code class="literal">NULL</code>. In this case, the
<a class="link" href="gmime-gmime-iconv.html#g-mime-iconv" title="g_mime_iconv()"><span class="type">g_mime_iconv</span></a> function sets <em class="parameter"><code>cd</code></em>
's conversion state to the initial
state.</p>
