     21  * \brief C API: Character conversion
     22  *
     23  * <h2>Character Conversion C API</h2>
     24  *
     25  * <p>This API is used to convert codepage or character encoded data to and
     26  * from UTF-16. You can open a converter with {@link ucnv_open() }. With that
     27  * converter, you can get its properties, set options, convert your data and
     28  * close the converter.</p>
     29  *
     30  * <p>Since many software programs recogize different converter names for
     31  * different types of converters, there are other functions in this API to
     32  * iterate over the converter aliases. The functions {@link ucnv_getAvailableName() },
     33  * {@link ucnv_getAlias() } and {@link ucnv_getStandardName() } are some of the
     34  * more frequently used alias functions to get this information.</p>
     35  *
     36  * <p>When a converter encounters an illegal, irregular, invalid or unmappable character
     37  * its default behavior is to use a substitution character to replace the
     38  * bad byte sequence. This behavior can be changed by using {@link ucnv_getFromUCallBack() }
     39  * or {@link ucnv_getToUCallBack() } on the converter. The header ucnv_err.h defines
     40  * many other callback actions that can be used instead of a character substitution.</p>
     41  *
     42  * <p>More information about this API can be found in our
     43  * <a href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/conversion.html">User's
     44  * Guide</a>.</p>

    621  * - EBCDIC_STATEFUL (EBCDIC mixed SBCS/DBCS): 3 (SO + DBCS)

    799  * (converted without any data loss) with the converter.

   1129  *   because ucnv_getNextUChar() will assume the end of the input at the end
   1130  *   of the first buffer.
   1131  * - Does not provide offset output.
   1132  *
   1133  * It is possible to "mix" ucnv_getNextUChar() and ucnv_toUnicode() because
   1134  * ucnv_getNextUChar() uses the current state of the converter
   1135  * (unlike ucnv_toUChars() which always resets first).
   1136  * However, if ucnv_getNextUChar() is called after ucnv_toUnicode()
   1137  * stopped in the middle of a character sequence (with flush=FALSE),
   1138  * then ucnv_getNextUChar() will always use the slower ucnv_toUnicode()
   1139  * internally until the next character boundary.
   1140  * (This is new in ICU 2.6. In earlier releases, ucnv_getNextUChar() had to
   1141  * start at a character boundary.)
   1142  *
   1143  * Instead of using ucnv_getNextUChar(), it is recommended
   1144  * to convert using ucnv_toUnicode() or ucnv_toUChars()
   1145  * and then iterate over the text using U16_NEXT() or a UCharIterator (uiter.h)
   1146  * or a C++ CharacterIterator or similar.
   1147  * This allows streaming conversion and offset output, for example.
   1148  *
   1149  * <p>Handling of surrogate pairs and supplementary-plane code points:<br>
   1150  * There are two different kinds of codepages that provide mappings for surrogate characters:
   1151  * <ul>
   1152  *   <li>Codepages like UTF-8, UTF-32, and GB 18030 provide direct representations for Unicode
   1153  *       code points U+10000-U+10ffff as well as for single surrogates U+d800-U+dfff.
   1154  *       Each valid sequence will result in exactly one returned code point.
   1155  *       If a sequence results in a single surrogate, then that will be returned
   1156  *       by itself, even if a neighboring sequence encodes the matching surrogate.</li>
   1157  *   <li>Codepages like SCSU and LMBCS (and UTF-16) provide direct representations only for BMP code points
   1158  *       including surrogates. Code points in supplementary planes are represented with
   1159  *       two sequences, each encoding a surrogate.
   1160  *       For these codepages, matching pairs of surrogates will be combined into single
   1161  *       code points for returning from this function.
   1162  *       (Note that SCSU is actually a mix of these codepage types.)</li>

   1191  * Convert from one external charset to another using two existing UConverters.
   1192  * Internally, two conversions - ucnv_toUnicode() and ucnv_fromUnicode() -
   1193  * are used, "pivoting" through 16-bit Unicode.
   1194  *
   1195  * There is a similar function, ucnv_convert(),

   1197  * - it takes charset names, not converter objects, so that
   1198  *   - two converters are opened for each call
   1199  *   - only single-string conversion is possible, not streaming operation
   1200  * - it does not provide enough information to find out,
   1201  *   in case of failure, whether the toUnicode or
   1202  *   the fromUnicode conversion failed
   1203  *
   1204  * By contrast, ucnv_convertEx()
   1205  * - takes UConverter parameters instead of charset names
   1206  * - fully exposes the pivot buffer for complete error handling
   1207  *
   1208  * ucnv_convertEx() also provides further convenience:
   1209  * - an option to reset the converters at the beginning
   1210  *   (if reset==TRUE, see parameters;
   1211  *    also sets *pivotTarget=*pivotSource=pivotStart)

   1214  *   (if sourceLimit==NULL, see parameters)
   1215  * - terminate with a NUL on output
   1216  *   (only a single NUL byte, not useful for charsets with multi-byte NULs),
   1217  *   or set U_STRING_NOT_TERMINATED_WARNING if the output exactly fills
   1218  *   the target buffer
   1219  * - the pivot buffer can be provided internally;
   1220  *   in this case, the caller will not be able to get details about where an
   1221  *   error occurred
   1222  *   (if pivotStart==NULL, see below)
   1223  *
   1224  * The function returns when one of the following is true:
   1225  * - the entire source text has been converted successfully to the target buffer
   1226  * - a target buffer overflow occurred (U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR)
   1227  * - a conversion error occurred
   1228  *   (other U_FAILURE(), see description of pErrorCode)

   1445  * Internally, the text is converted to and from the 16-bit Unicode "pivot"
   1446  * using ucnv_convertEx(). ucnv_fromAlgorithmic() works exactly like ucnv_convert()
   1447  * except that the two converters need not be looked up and opened completely.
   1448  *
   1449  * The source-to-pivot conversion uses a purely algorithmic converter
   1450  * according to the specified type, e.g., UCNV_UTF8 for a UTF-8 converter.
   1451  * The pivot-to-target conversion uses the cnv converter parameter.
   1452  *
   1453  * Internally, the algorithmic converter is opened and closed for each
   1454  * function call, which is more efficient than using the public ucnv_open()
   1455  * but somewhat less efficient than only resetting an existing converter
   1456  * and using ucnv_convertEx().
   1457  *
   1458  * This function is more convenient than ucnv_convertEx() for single-string
   1459  * conversions, especially when "preflighting" is desired (returning the length
   1460  * of the complete output even if it does not fit into the target buffer;
   1461  * see the User Guide Strings chapter). See ucnv_convert() for details.

   1464  *                          from the UTF-16 pivot buffer to the target.
   1465  * @param algorithmicType   UConverterType constant identifying the desired source
   1466  *                          charset as a purely algorithmic converter.
   1467  *                          Those are converters for Unicode charsets like
   1468  *                          UTF-8, BOCU-1, SCSU, UTF-7, IMAP-mailbox-name, etc.,
   1469  *                          as well as US-ASCII and ISO-8859-1.
   1470  * @param target            Pointer to the output buffer.
   1471  * @param targetCapacity    Capacity of the target, in bytes.
   1472  * @param source            Pointer to the input buffer.
