KICONV(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual 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
character 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
character 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).
