NAME

       SDL_iconv_string - Helper function to convert a string's encoding in one call.

HEADER FILE

       Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       char * SDL_iconv_string(const char *tocode,
                          const char *fromcode,
                          const char *inbuf,
                          size_t inbytesleft);

DESCRIPTION

       This function converts a buffer or string between encodings in one pass.

       The  string  does not need to be NULL-terminated; this function operates on the number of bytes specified
       in inbytesleft whether there is a NULL character anywhere in the buffer.

       The returned string is owned by the caller, and should be passed to

       SDL_free
        when no longer needed.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

       tocode the character encoding of the output string. Examples are "UTF-8", "UCS-4", etc.

       fromcode
              the character encoding of data in inbuf .

       inbuf  the string to convert to a different encoding.

       inbytesleft
              the size of the input string _in bytes_.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a new string, converted to the new encoding, or NULL on error.

AVAILABILITY

       This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
