Function
GLibfilename_from_utf8
Declaration [src]
gchar*
g_filename_from_utf8 (
const gchar* utf8string,
gssize len,
gsize* bytes_read,
gsize* bytes_written,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Converts a string from UTF-8 to the encoding GLib uses for filenames. Note that on Windows GLib uses UTF-8 for filenames; on other platforms, this function indirectly depends on the [current locale][setlocale].
The input string shall not contain nul characters even if the len
argument is positive. A nul character found inside the string will result
in error G_CONVERT_ERROR_ILLEGAL_SEQUENCE. If the filename encoding is
not UTF-8 and the conversion output contains a nul character, the error
G_CONVERT_ERROR_EMBEDDED_NUL is set and the function returns NULL.
Parameters
utf8string-
Type:
const gchar*A UTF-8 encoded string.
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. len-
Type:
gssizeThe length of the string, or -1 if the string is nul-terminated.
bytes_read-
Type:
gsize*Location to store the number of bytes in the input string that were successfully converted, or
NULL. Even if the conversion was successful, this may be less thanlenif there were partial characters at the end of the input. If the errorG_CONVERT_ERROR_ILLEGAL_SEQUENCEoccurs, the value stored will be the byte offset after the last valid input sequence.The argument will be set by the function. The argument can be NULL. bytes_written-
Type:
gsize*The number of bytes stored in the output buffer (not including the terminating nul).
The argument will be set by the function. The argument can be NULL. error-
Type:
GError **The return location for a recoverable error.
The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will be left initialized to NULLby the function if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
