SDL_iconv_string - Man Page
Helper function to convert a string's encoding in one call.
Synopsis
#include <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h> char * SDL_iconv_string(const char *tocode, const char *fromcode, const char *inbuf, size_t inbytesleft);
Description
This function converts a buffer or string between encodings in one pass.
The string does not need to be NULL-terminated; this function operates on the number of bytes specified in inbytesleft whether there is a NULL character anywhere in the buffer.
The returned string is owned by the caller, and should be passed to SDL_free when no longer needed.
Function Parameters
- tocode
the character encoding of the output string. Examples are "UTF-8", "UCS-4", etc.
- fromcode
the character encoding of data in inbuf.
- inbuf
the string to convert to a different encoding.
- inbytesleft
the size of the input string _in bytes_.
Return Value
Returns a new string, converted to the new encoding, or NULL on error.
Availability
This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
