The WPI provides codeset conversion capabilities through a set of functions for program use or the iconv command for interactive use. You specify for these interfaces the source and target codesets and the name of a language text file to be converted. The codesets define a conversion stream through which the language text is passed. The following table summarizes the three functions you use for codeset conversion. None Initializes a conversion stream by identifying the source and the target codesets.
None Closes the conversion stream.
None Converts an input string encoded in the source codeset to an output string encoded in the target codeset. Refer to Section 6.16 for a description of the iconv command and the types of conversions that are supported.
