- ICONV - Charset Conversion Library. Version 1.0
- -----------------------------------------------
+ Apache Portable Runtime Iconv Library
+ -------------------------------------
-This distribution contains the library (libiconv.a and .so) for
-conversion between various charsets (character encoding schemes)
-and the command line utility (iconv).
-
-Syntax of the library functions (iconv_open, iconv, iconv_close)
-and the utility is described in the man pages.
-
-Features of the library:
- - small size: the actual conversion methods are located
- in dynamically loaded shared modules, representing
- either a character encoding scheme (CES), or a coded
- character set (CCS);
- - open module API: adding new modules (both CESs and
- CCSs) is easy. Although the API has not been documented,
- it is rather simple to be figured out from the sources;
- - BSD-style copyright;
- - POSIX compliance of iconv_open, iconv and iconv_close
- functions;
- - support for aliases for charset names via UNIX symbolic
- links;
- - ISO/IEC 10646 conformance of the internal representation
- of characters; conversion is always done in two steps:
- (1) a sequence of zero or more bytes from input buffer
- coded in the source charset is converted to exactly one
- valid UCS-4 character and (2) the UCS-4 character is
- converted to a sequence of zero or more bytes in
- the target charset to the output buffer;
- - standard sources of CCS tables: all C source files of
- the tables have been generated by a Perl script from
- the Unicode and RFC1345 charset mapping tables before
- being included to the package.
