Function
GLiblocale_to_utf8
Declaration
gchar*
g_locale_to_utf8 (
const gchar* opsysstring,
gssize len,
gsize* bytes_read,
gsize* bytes_written,
GError** error
)
Description
Converts a string which is in the encoding used for strings by the C runtime (usually the same as that used by the operating system) in the [current locale][setlocale] into a UTF-8 string.
If the source 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
.
If the source encoding is UTF-8, an embedded nul character is treated with
the G_CONVERT_ERROR_ILLEGAL_SEQUENCE
error for backward compatibility with
earlier versions of this library. Use g_convert()
to produce output that
may contain embedded nul characters.
Parameters

An array of guint8 |
A string in the encoding of the current locale. On Windows this means the system codepage. |

The data is owned by the caller of the function. | |
len |
gssize |
The length of the string, or -1 if the string is
nul-terminated (Note that some encodings may allow nul
bytes to occur inside strings. In that case, using -1

Location to store the number of bytes in the
input string that were successfully converted, or |
