     17  * \brief C UConverter functions to aid the writers of callbacks
     18  *
     19  * <h2> Callback API for UConverter </h2>
     20  *
     21  * These functions are provided here for the convenience of the callback
     22  * writer. If you are just looking for callback functions to use, please
     23  * see ucnv_err.h.  DO NOT call these functions directly when you are
     24  * working with converters, unless your code has been called as a callback
     25  * via ucnv_setFromUCallback or ucnv_setToUCallback !!
     26  *
     27  * A note about error codes and overflow.  Unlike other ICU functions,
     28  * these functions do not expect the error status to be U_ZERO_ERROR.
     29  * Callbacks must be much more careful about their error codes.
     30  * The error codes used here are in/out parameters, which should be passed
     31  * back in the callback's error parameter.
     32  *
     33  * For example, if you call ucnv_cbfromUWriteBytes to write data out
     34  * to the output codepage, it may return U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR if
     35  * the data did not fit in the target. But this isn't a failing error,
     36  * in fact, ucnv_cbfromUWriteBytes may be called AGAIN with the error
     37  * status still U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR to attempt to write further bytes,
     38  * which will also go into the internal overflow buffers.
     39  *
     40  * Concerning offsets, the 'offset' parameters here are relative to the start
     41  * of SOURCE.  For example, Suppose the string "ABCD" was being converted
     42  * from Unicode into a codepage which doesn't have a mapping for 'B'.
     43  * 'A' will be written out correctly, but
     44  * The FromU Callback will be called on an unassigned character for 'B'.
     45  * At this point, this is the state of the world:
     46  *    Target:    A [..]     [points after A]
     47  *    Source:  A B [C] D    [points to C - B has been consumed]
     48  *             0 1  2  3
     49  *    codePoint = "B"       [the unassigned codepoint]
     50  *
     51  * Now, suppose a callback wants to write the substitution character '?' to
     52  * the target. It calls ucnv_cbFromUWriteBytes() to write the ?.
     53  * It should pass ZERO as the offset, because the offset as far as the
     54  * callback is concerned is relative to the SOURCE pointer [which points
     55  * before 'C'.]  If the callback goes into the args and consumes 'C' also,
     56  * it would call FromUWriteBytes with an offset of 1 (and advance the source
     57  * pointer).
     58  *
