Glib::IConv Class Reference
[Character Set Conversion]

Thin iconv() wrapper. More...

List of all members.

Public Methods

 IConv (const std::string& to_codeset, const std::string& from_codeset)
 Open new conversion descriptor.

 IConv (GIConv gobject)
 ~IConv ()
 Close conversion descriptor.

size_t iconv (char** inbuf, gsize* inbytes_left, char** outbuf, gsize* outbytes_left)
 Same as the standard UNIX routine iconv(), but may be implemented via libiconv on UNIX flavors that lack a native implementation.

void reset ()
 Reset conversion descriptor to initial state.

std::string convert (const std::string& str)
 Convert from one encoding to another.

GIConv gobj ()


Detailed Description

Thin iconv() wrapper.

glibmm provides Glib::convert() and Glib::locale_to_utf8() which are likely more convenient than the raw iconv wrappers. However, creating an IConv object once and using the convert() method could be useful when converting multiple times between the same charsets.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Glib::IConv::IConv ( const std::string&    to_codeset,
const std::string&    from_codeset
 

Open new conversion descriptor.

Parameters:
to_codeset Destination codeset.
from_codeset Source codeset.
Exceptions:
Glib::ConvertError 

Glib::IConv::IConv ( GIConv    gobject [explicit]
 

Glib::IConv::~IConv (  
 

Close conversion descriptor.


Member Function Documentation

std::string Glib::IConv::convert ( const std::string&    str
 

Convert from one encoding to another.

Parameters:
str The string to convert.
Returns:
The converted string.
Exceptions:
Glib::ConvertError 

GIConv Glib::IConv::gobj (   [inline]
 

size_t Glib::IConv::iconv ( char **    inbuf,
gsize*    inbytes_left,
char **    outbuf,
gsize*    outbytes_left
 

Same as the standard UNIX routine iconv(), but may be implemented via libiconv on UNIX flavors that lack a native implementation.

glibmm provides Glib::convert() and Glib::locale_to_utf8() which are likely more convenient than the raw iconv wrappers.

Parameters:
inbuf Bytes to convert.
inbytes_left In/out parameter, bytes remaining to convert in inbuf.
outbuf Converted output bytes.
outbytes_left In/out parameter, bytes available to fill in outbuf.
Returns:
Count of non-reversible conversions, or static_cast<size_t>(-1) on error.

void Glib::IConv::reset (  
 

Reset conversion descriptor to initial state.

Same as iconv(0, 0, 0, 0), but implemented slightly differently in order to work on Sun Solaris <= 7. It's also more obvious so you're encouraged to use it.
