NAME

iconv_open - codeset conversion allocation function

SYNOPSIS

#include <iconv.h>

iconv_t iconv_open(const char *tocode, const char *fromcode);

DESCRIPTION

The iconv_open() function shall return a conversion descriptor that describes a conversion from the codeset specified by the string pointed to by the fromcode argument to the codeset specified by the string pointed to by the tocode argument. For state-dependent encodings, the conversion descriptor shall be in a codeset-dependent initial shift state, ready for immediate use with iconv().

Settings of fromcode and tocode and their permitted combinations are implementation-defined.

A conversion descriptor shall remain valid until it is closed by iconv_close() or an implicit close.

If a file descriptor is used to implement conversion descriptors, the FD_CLOEXEC flag shall be set; see <fcntl.h>.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, iconv_open() shall return a conversion descriptor for use on subsequent calls to iconv(). Otherwise, iconv_open() shall return (iconv_t)-1 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The iconv_open() function may fail if:

EMFILE: {OPEN_MAX} file descriptors are currently open in the calling process.
ENFILE: Too many files are currently open in the system.
ENOMEM: Insufficient storage space is available.
EINVAL: The conversion specified by fromcode and tocode is not supported by the implementation.

The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

None.

APPLICATION USAGE

Some implementations of iconv_open() use malloc() to allocate space for internal buffer areas. The iconv_open() function may fail if there is insufficient storage space to accommodate these buffers.

Conforming applications must assume that conversion descriptors are not valid after a call to one of the exec functions.

Application developers should consult the system documentation to determine the supported codesets and their naming schemes.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
