UniUconvToUcs

UniUconvToUcs

UniUconvToUcs(uconvObj, inBuffer, inBufferLen, ucsBuffer, ucsBufferLen, nonIdenticalConv)

Convert a code page string to a UCS string.

Parameters

uconvObj - UconvObject - input

The conversion object created from UniCreateUconvObject.

inBuffer - (void **) - input

The input buffer.

inBufferLen - (size_t *) - input/output

The input buffer's length, in bytes.

ucsBuffer - UniChar - output

The ucs buffer.

ucsBufferLen - (size_t *) - output

Number of unicode character elements in the ucsBuffer.

nonIdenticalConv - (size_t *) - output

Number of non-identical conversions.

Constants

None

Returns

An integer with values of:

• ULS_INVALID
• ULS_SUCCESS

UniconvToUcs updates the variables pointed to by the arguments to reflect the extent of the conversion and returns, in nonidentical, the number of substitutions (non-identical conversions) performed. If the entire string in the input buffer is converted, the value pointed to by inBufferLen will be 0. If the input conversion is stopped due to any condition mentioned above, the value pointed to by inBufferLen will be nonzero and a nonzero value is returned to indicate the condition. If an error occurs, UniUconvToUcs returns a nonzero value.

Calling conversion

Cdecl32

Example Code

UconvObject uconvObj;
void**      inBuffer;
size_t*     inBufferLen;
UniChar     ucsBuffer;
size_t*     ucsBufferLen;
size_t*     nonIdenticalConv;
integer     rc;
...
rc = UniUconvToUcs(uconvObj, inBuffer, inBufferLen, ucsBuffer, ucsBufferLen, nonIdenticalConv);
...

Notes

The sequence of the code page characters in inBuffer is converted into a sequence of Unicode characters in ucsBuffer. The code page was set by UniCreateUnconvObject call in the UconvObject.

Conversion is only on bytes that convert. The process stops converting on the first non-valid byte. If the ucsBuffer isn't large enough, conversion ends on the byte previous to any buffer overflow. inBuffer is updated truncating the point of failure to the end and updating the ucsBufferLen to indicate the number of successfully converted elements.
