# libxconv Lightweight ISO-6937 to UTF-8 conversion library. ##### SYNOPSIS > size\_t xconv(char \*inbuf, char \*outbuf, size\_t outbuflen); ##### DESCRIPTION > The xconv() function converts a sequence of characters in ISO-6937 > encoding to UTF-8. > > If a UTF-8 sequence is found within the input string, processing is aborted. ##### RETURN VALUE > On successful conversion, the xconv() function returns the number of > characters placed into _outbuf_ excluding the string terminator. > > If no conversion is necessary (plain ASCII input string or a UTF-8 sequence > was found) then the function returns 0. In this case, the state of the > output buffer is undefined and it should not be used. ##### NOTES > This library was written to replace iconv() for a specific conversion task > in a small embedded environment with little memory or CPU time available.
