Character Conversion C API

* *

This API is used to convert codepage or character encoded data to and * from UTF-16. You can open a converter with {@link ucnv_open() }. With that * converter, you can get its properties, set options, convert your data and * close the converter.

* *

Since many software programs recogize different converter names for * different types of converters, there are other functions in this API to * iterate over the converter aliases. The functions {@link ucnv_getAvailableName() }, * {@link ucnv_getAlias() } and {@link ucnv_getStandardName() } are some of the * more frequently used alias functions to get this information.

* *

When a converter encounters an illegal, irregular, invalid or unmappable character * its default behavior is to use a substitution character to replace the * bad byte sequence. This behavior can be changed by using {@link ucnv_getFromUCallBack() } * or {@link ucnv_getToUCallBack() } on the converter. The header ucnv_err.h defines * many other callback actions that can be used instead of a character substitution.

* *

More information about this API can be found in our * User's * Guide.

Creates a UConverter object specified from a packageName and a converterName.

* *

The packageName and converterName must point to an ICU udata object, as defined by * udata_open( packageName, "cnv", converterName, err) or equivalent. * Typically, packageName will refer to a (.dat) file, or to a package registered with * udata_setAppData().

* *

The name will NOT be looked up in the alias mechanism, nor will the converter be * stored in the converter cache or the alias table. The only way to open further converters * is call this function multiple times, or use the ucnv_safeClone() function to clone a * 'master' converter.

A future version of ICU may add alias table lookups and/or caching * to this function.
