UniStrFromUcs

UniStrFromUcs(uconvObj, outBuffer, ucsString, outBufferLen)

Convert a UCS string to a code page string.

Parameters

uconvObj - UconvObject - input

The conversion object created from UniCreateUconvObject.

outBuffer - CHAR - input

The output buffer to hold code page.

ucsString - UniChar - input

Null terminated Unicode string.

outBufferLen - (int) - input/output

The output buffer's length, in bytes.

Constants

None

Returns

An integer with values of:

• ULS_BADOBJECT
• ULS_BUFFERFULL
• ULS_ILLEGALSEQUENCE
• ULS_SUCCESS

Calling conversion

Cdecl32

Example Code

UconvObject uconvObj;
CHAR*       outBuffer;
UniChar     ucsString;
integer     outBufferLen;
APIRET      rc;
...
rc = UniStrFromUcs(uconvObj, outBuffer, ucsString, outBufferLen);
...

Notes

The sequence of code elements in ucsString is converted into a sequence of code page characters to outBuffer. The code page was set by UniCreateUnconvObject call in the UconvObject.

If the outBuffer isn't large enough, conversion ends on the byte previous to any buffer overflow. outBuffer is updated truncating the point of failure to the end and updating the outBufferLen to indicate the number of successfully converted bytes.

If UniStrFromUcs contains a code sequence in ucsString that is legal with no corresponding character in the target codepage this function will replace it with a predefined substituted character.
