Method

GLibIConvclose

Declaration

gint
g_iconv_close (
  GIConv converter
)

Description

Same as the standard UNIX routine iconv_close(), but may be implemented via libiconv on UNIX flavors that lack a native implementation. Should be called to clean up the conversion descriptor from g_iconv_open() when you are done converting things.

GLib provides g_convert() and g_locale_to_utf8() which are likely more convenient than the raw iconv wrappers.

This method is not directly available to language bindings.

Return value

Type: gint

-1 on error, 0 on success.
