22 * \file
23 * \brief C API: Character conversion
24 *
25 * <h2>Character Conversion C API</h2>
26 *
27 * <p>This API is used to convert codepage or character encoded data to and
28 * from UTF-16. You can open a converter with {@link ucnv_open() }. With that
29 * converter, you can get its properties, set options, convert your data and
30 * close the converter.</p>
31 *
32 * <p>Since many software programs recognize different converter names for
33 * different types of converters, there are other functions in this API to
34 * iterate over the converter aliases. The functions {@link ucnv_getAvailableName() },
35 * {@link ucnv_getAlias() } and {@link ucnv_getStandardName() } are some of the
36 * more frequently used alias functions to get this information.</p>
37 *
38 * <p>When a converter encounters an illegal, irregular, invalid or unmappable character
39 * its default behavior is to use a substitution character to replace the
40 * bad byte sequence. This behavior can be changed by using {@link ucnv_setFromUCallBack() }
41 * or {@link ucnv_setToUCallBack() } on the converter. The header ucnv_err.h defines
42 * many other callback actions that can be used instead of a character substitution.</p>
43 *
44 * <p>More information about this API can be found in our
45 * <a href="https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/conversion/">User Guide</a>.</p>

1172 * Convert a codepage buffer into Unicode one character at a time.

1174 *
1175 * Advantage compared to ucnv_toUnicode() or ucnv_toUChars():
1176 * - Faster for small amounts of data, for most converters, e.g.,
1177 *   US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, UTF-8/16/32, and most "normal" charsets.
1178 *   (For complex converters, e.g., SCSU, UTF-7 and ISO 2022 variants,
1179 *    it uses ucnv_toUnicode() internally.)
1180 * - Convenient.
1181 *
1182 * Limitations compared to ucnv_toUnicode():
1183 * - Always assumes flush=true.
1184 *   This makes ucnv_getNextUChar() unsuitable for "streaming" conversion,
1185 *   that is, for where the input is supplied in multiple buffers,
1186 *   because ucnv_getNextUChar() will assume the end of the input at the end
1187 *   of the first buffer.
1188 * - Does not provide offset output.
1189 *
1190 * It is possible to "mix" ucnv_getNextUChar() and ucnv_toUnicode() because
1191 * ucnv_getNextUChar() uses the current state of the converter
1192 * (unlike ucnv_toUChars() which always resets first).
1193 * However, if ucnv_getNextUChar() is called after ucnv_toUnicode()
1194 * stopped in the middle of a character sequence (with flush=false),
1195 * then ucnv_getNextUChar() will always use the slower ucnv_toUnicode()
1196 * internally until the next character boundary.
1197 * (This is new in ICU 2.6. In earlier releases, ucnv_getNextUChar() had to
1198 * start at a character boundary.)
1199 *
1200 * Instead of using ucnv_getNextUChar(), it is recommended
1201 * to convert using ucnv_toUnicode() or ucnv_toUChars()
1202 * and then iterate over the text using U16_NEXT() or a UCharIterator (uiter.h)
1203 * or a C++ CharacterIterator or similar.
1204 * This allows streaming conversion and offset output, for example.
1205 *
1206 * <p>Handling of surrogate pairs and supplementary-plane code points:<br>
1207 * There are two different kinds of codepages that provide mappings for surrogate characters:
1208 * <ul>
1209 *   <li>Codepages like UTF-8, UTF-32, and GB 18030 provide direct representations for Unicode
1210 *       code points U+10000-U+10ffff as well as for single surrogates U+d800-U+dfff.
1211 *       Each valid sequence will result in exactly one returned code point.
1212 *       If a sequence results in a single surrogate, then that will be returned
1213 *       by itself, even if a neighboring sequence encodes the matching surrogate.</li>
1214 *   <li>Codepages like SCSU and LMBCS (and UTF-16) provide direct representations only for BMP code points
1215 *       including surrogates. Code points in supplementary planes are represented with
1216 *       two sequences, each encoding a surrogate.
1217 *       For these codepages, matching pairs of surrogates will be combined into single
1218 *       code points for returning from this function.

1247/**
1248 * Convert from one external charset to another using two existing UConverters.
1249 * Internally, two conversions - ucnv_toUnicode() and ucnv_fromUnicode() -
1250 * are used, "pivoting" through 16-bit Unicode.
1251 *
1252 * Important: For streaming conversion (multiple function calls for successive
1253 * parts of a text stream), the caller must provide a pivot buffer explicitly,
1254 * and must preserve the pivot buffer and associated pointers from one
1255 * call to another. (The buffer may be moved if its contents and the relative
1256 * pointer positions are preserved.)
1257 *
1258 * There is a similar function, ucnv_convert(),
1259 * which has the following limitations:
1260 * - it takes charset names, not converter objects, so that
1261 *   - two converters are opened for each call
1262 *   - only single-string conversion is possible, not streaming operation
1263 * - it does not provide enough information to find out,
1264 *   in case of failure, whether the toUnicode or
1265 *   the fromUnicode conversion failed
1266 *
1267 * By contrast, ucnv_convertEx()
1268 * - takes UConverter parameters instead of charset names
1269 * - fully exposes the pivot buffer for streaming conversion and complete error handling
1270 *
1271 * ucnv_convertEx() also provides further convenience:
1272 * - an option to reset the converters at the beginning
1273 *   (if reset==true, see parameters;
1274 *    also sets *pivotTarget=*pivotSource=pivotStart)
1275 * - allow NUL-terminated input
1276 *   (only a single NUL byte, will not work for charsets with multi-byte NULs)
1277 *   (if sourceLimit==NULL, see parameters)
1278 * - terminate with a NUL on output
1279 *   (only a single NUL byte, not useful for charsets with multi-byte NULs),
1280 *   or set U_STRING_NOT_TERMINATED_WARNING if the output exactly fills
1281 *   the target buffer
1282 * - the pivot buffer can be provided internally;
1283 *   possible only for whole-string conversion, not streaming conversion;
1284 *   in this case, the caller will not be able to get details about where an
1285 *   error occurred
1286 *   (if pivotStart==NULL, see below)
1287 *
1288 * The function returns when one of the following is true:
1289 * - the entire source text has been converted successfully to the target buffer
1290 * - a target buffer overflow occurred (U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR)
1291 * - a conversion error occurred
1292 *   (other U_FAILURE(), see description of pErrorCode)
1293 *
1294 * Limitation compared to the direct use of
1295 * ucnv_fromUnicode() and ucnv_toUnicode():
1296 * ucnv_convertEx() does not provide offset information.
1297 *
1298 * Limitation compared to ucnv_fromUChars() and ucnv_toUChars():
1299 * ucnv_convertEx() does not support preflighting directly.

1405 * - does not provide enough information to find out,
1406 *   in case of failure, whether the toUnicode or
1407 *   the fromUnicode conversion failed
1408 * - allows NUL-terminated input
1409 *   (only a single NUL byte, will not work for charsets with multi-byte NULs)
1410 *   (if sourceLength==-1, see parameters)
1411 * - terminate with a NUL on output
1412 *   (only a single NUL byte, not useful for charsets with multi-byte NULs),
1413 *   or set U_STRING_NOT_TERMINATED_WARNING if the output exactly fills

1415 * - a pivot buffer is provided internally
1416 *
1417 * The function returns when one of the following is true:
1418 * - the entire source text has been converted successfully to the target buffer
1419 *   and either the target buffer is terminated with a single NUL byte
1420 *   or the error code is set to U_STRING_NOT_TERMINATED_WARNING
1421 * - a target buffer overflow occurred (U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR)
