## NAME

mconv\_encode\_range -

## SYNOPSIS

int **mconv\_encode\_range** (**MConverter** \* *converter*, **MText** \* *mt*, int *from*, int *to*)

## DESCRIPTION

Encode a part of an M-text. The **mconv\_encode\_range()** function encodes the text between **from** (inclusive) and **to** (exclusive) in M-text **mt** and writes the resulting byte sequence into the buffer area or the stream that is currently bound to code converter **converter**.

## RETURN VALUE

If the operation was successful, **mconv\_encode\_range()** returns the number of written bytes. Otherwise it returns -1 and assigns an error code to the external variable **merror\_code**. \

## ERRORS

`MERROR_RANGE`, `MERROR_IO`, `MERROR_CODING`

## SEE ALSO
