NAME
SDL_iconv_string - Helper function to convert a string's encoding in one call.
HEADER FILE
Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h
SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL3/SDL.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

-
the character encoding of the output string. Examples are "UTF-8", "UCS-4", etc.
- fromcode

- 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.
