</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">iconvctl
&minus; control iconv behavior</p>

<h2>SYNOPSIS
<a name="SYNOPSIS"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>#include
&lt;iconv.h&gt;</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>int iconvctl
(iconv_t</b> <i>cd</i> <b>, int</b> <i>request</i><b>, void
*</b> <i>argument</i><b>);</b></p>

<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The argument
<i>cd</i> must be a conversion descriptor created using the
function <b>iconv_open</b>.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>iconvctl</b>
queries or adjusts the behavior of the <b>iconv</b>
function, when invoked with the specified conversion
descriptor, depending on the request value.</p>

<h2>REQUEST VALUES
<a name="REQUEST VALUES"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
are permissible values for the <i>request</i> parameter.
<b><br>
ICONV_TRIVIALP</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be an
<b>int *</b> which will receive 1 if the conversion is
trivial, or 0 otherwise.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_GET_TRANSLITERATE</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be an
<b>int *</b> which will receive 1 if transliteration is
enabled in the conversion, or 0 otherwise.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_SET_TRANSLITERATE</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be a
<b>const int *</b>, pointing to an <b>int</b> value. A
non-zero value is used to enable transliteration in the
conversion. A zero value disables it.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_GET_DISCARD_INVALID</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be an
<b>int *</b> which will receive 1 if &quot;discard invalid
multibyte sequence from the input and continue&quot; is
enabled in the conversion, or 0 otherwise.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_SET_DISCARD_INVALID</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be a
<b>const int *</b>, pointing to an <b>int</b> value. A
non-zero value is used to enable &quot;discard invalid
multibyte sequence from the input and continue&quot; in the
conversion. A zero value disables it.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_GET_DISCARD_NON_IDENTICAL</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be an
<b>int *</b> which will receive 1 if &quot;discard character
that cannot be represented in the target character set and
continue&quot; is enabled in the conversion, or 0
otherwise.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_SET_DISCARD_NON_IDENTICAL</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be a
<b>const int *</b>, pointing to an <b>int</b> value. A
non-zero value is used to enable &quot;discard character
that cannot be represented in the target character set and
continue&quot; in the conversion. A zero value disables
it.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_GET_DISCARD_ILSEQ</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be an
<b>int *</b> which will receive 1 if both
&quot;discard&quot; behaviours are enabled in the
conversion, or 0 otherwise.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_SET_DISCARD_ILSEQ</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be a
<b>const int *</b>, pointing to an <b>int</b> value. A
non-zero value is used to enable both &quot;discard&quot;
behaviours in the conversion. A zero value disables
them.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_GET_FROM_SURFACE</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be an
<b>unsigned int *</b> which will receive the from-side
(input side) surface of the conversion.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_SET_FROM_SURFACE</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be a
<b>const unsigned int *</b>, pointing to an <b>unsigned
int</b> value. This value is installed as the from-side
(input side) surface of the conversion. The value is a bit
mask. Zero denotes no surface. The value
<b>ICONV_SURFACE_EBCDIC_ZOS_UNIX</b> has an effect on EBCDIC
encodings: The EBCDIC newline 0x15 will get mapped to LF
instead of NEL.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_GET_TO_SURFACE</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be an
<b>unsigned int *</b> which will receive the to-side (output
side) surface of the conversion.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ICONV_SET_TO_SURFACE</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;"><i>argument</i> should be a
<b>const unsigned int *</b>, pointing to an <b>unsigned
int</b> value. This value is installed as the to-side
(output side) surface of the conversion. The value is a bit
mask. Zero denotes no surface. The value
<b>ICONV_SURFACE_EBCDIC_ZOS_UNIX</b> has an effect on EBCDIC
encodings: LF, instead of NEL, will get mapped to the EBCDIC
newline 0x15.</p>

<h2>RETURN VALUE
<a name="RETURN VALUE"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
<b>iconvctl</b> function returns 0 if it succeeds. In case
of error, it sets <b>errno</b> and returns &minus;1.</p>

<h2>ERRORS
<a name="ERRORS"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
errors can occur, among others:</p>
