NAME

kiconv_add_xlat16_cspair, kiconv_add_xlat16_cspairs, kiconv_add_xlat16_table - kernel side iconv library

LIBRARY

library ``libkiconv''

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 addi

tion to a

character conversion table. The dif

ference
between two is tolower tocode or

tolower fromcode.

KICONV_UPPER
KICONV_FROM_UPPER It generates a toupper table in addi

tion to a

character conversion table. The dif

ference
between two is toupper tocode or

toupper fromcode.

A tolower/toupper conversion is limited to single-byte char

acters.

The kiconv_add_xlat16_cspairs() function defines two conver

sion tables
which are from localcode to foreigncode and from foreigncode

to
localcode. These conversion tables also contain both tolow

er 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).
