/**
* \file
* \brief C API: Character conversion
*
* <h2>Character Conversion C API</h2>
*
* <p>This API is used to convert codepage or character encoded data to and
* from UTF-16. You can open a converter with {@link ucnv_open() }. With that
* converter, you can get its properties, set options, convert your data and
* close the converter.</p>
*
* <p>Since many software programs recognize different converter names for
* different types of converters, there are other functions in this API to
* iterate over the converter aliases. The functions {@link ucnv_getAvailableName() },
* {@link ucnv_getAlias() } and {@link ucnv_getStandardName() } are some of the
* more frequently used alias functions to get this information.</p>
*
* <p>When a converter encounters an illegal, irregular, invalid or unmappable character
* its default behavior is to use a substitution character to replace the
* bad byte sequence. This behavior can be changed by using {@link ucnv_setFromUCallBack() }
* or {@link ucnv_setToUCallBack() } on the converter. The header ucnv_err.h defines
* many other callback actions that can be used instead of a character substitution.</p>
*
* <p>More information about this API can be found in our
* <a href="http://icu-project.org/userguide/conversion.html">User's
* Guide</a>.</p>

*
* Note: Before ICU 2.8, this function did not return reliable numbers for

*
* This number may not be the same as the maximum number of bytes per

* number of bytes per character that would be published for a charset,
* and may not fulfill any other purpose than the allocation of an output
* buffer of guaranteed sufficient size for a given input length and converter.
*
* Examples for special cases that are taken into account:
* - Supplementary code points may convert to more bytes than BMP code points.
* This function returns bytes per UChar (UTF-16 code unit), not per
* Unicode code point, for efficient buffer allocation.
* - State-shifting output (SI/SO, escapes, etc.) from stateful converters.
* - When m input UChars are converted to n output bytes, then the maximum m/n
* is taken into account.
*
* The number returned here does not take into account
* (see UCNV_GET_MAX_BYTES_FOR_STRING):
* - callbacks which output more than one charset character sequence per call,
* like escape callbacks
* - initial and final non-character bytes that are output by some converters
* (automatic BOMs, initial escape sequence, final SI, etc.)
*
* Examples for returned values:
* - SBCS charsets: 1
* - Shift-JIS: 2
* - UTF-16: 2 (2 per BMP, 4 per surrogate _pair_, BOM not counted)
* - UTF-8: 3 (3 per BMP, 4 per surrogate _pair_)
* - EBCDIC_STATEFUL (EBCDIC mixed SBCS/DBCS): 3 (SO + DBCS)
* - ISO-2022: 3 (always outputs UTF-8)

* Convert a codepage buffer into Unicode one character at a time.
* The input is completely consumed when the U_INDEX_OUTOFBOUNDS_ERROR is set.
*
* Advantage compared to ucnv_toUnicode() or ucnv_toUChars():
* - Faster for small amounts of data, for most converters, e.g.,
* US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, UTF-8/16/32, and most "normal" charsets.
* (For complex converters, e.g., SCSU, UTF-7 and ISO 2022 variants,
* it uses ucnv_toUnicode() internally.)
* - Convenient.
*
* Limitations compared to ucnv_toUnicode():
* - Always assumes flush=TRUE.
* This makes ucnv_getNextUChar() unsuitable for "streaming" conversion,
* that is, for where the input is supplied in multiple buffers,
* because ucnv_getNextUChar() will assume the end of the input at the end
* of the first buffer.
* - Does not provide offset output.
*
* It is possible to "mix" ucnv_getNextUChar() and ucnv_toUnicode() because
* ucnv_getNextUChar() uses the current state of the converter
* (unlike ucnv_toUChars() which always resets first).
* However, if ucnv_getNextUChar() is called after ucnv_toUnicode()
* stopped in the middle of a character sequence (with flush=FALSE),
* then ucnv_getNextUChar() will always use the slower ucnv_toUnicode()
* internally until the next character boundary.
* (This is new in ICU 2.6. In earlier releases, ucnv_getNextUChar() had to
* start at a character boundary.)
*
* Instead of using ucnv_getNextUChar(), it is recommended
* to convert using ucnv_toUnicode() or ucnv_toUChars()
* and then iterate over the text using U16_NEXT() or a UCharIterator (uiter.h)
* or a C++ CharacterIterator or similar.
* This allows streaming conversion and offset output, for example.
*
* <p>Handling of surrogate pairs and supplementary-plane code points:<br>
* There are two different kinds of codepages that provide mappings for surrogate characters:
* <ul>
* <li>Codepages like UTF-8, UTF-32, and GB 18030 provide direct representations for Unicode
* code points U+10000-U+10ffff as well as for single surrogates U+d800-U+dfff.
* Each valid sequence will result in exactly one returned code point.
* If a sequence results in a single surrogate, then that will be returned
* by itself, even if a neighboring sequence encodes the matching surrogate.</li>
* <li>Codepages like SCSU and LMBCS (and UTF-16) provide direct representations only for BMP code points
* including surrogates. Code points in supplementary planes are represented with
* two sequences, each encoding a surrogate.
* For these codepages, matching pairs of surrogates will be combined into single
* code points for returning from this function.
* (Note that SCSU is actually a mix of these codepage types.)</li>

/**
* Convert from one external charset to another using two existing UConverters.
* Internally, two conversions - ucnv_toUnicode() and ucnv_fromUnicode() -
* are used, "pivoting" through 16-bit Unicode.
*
* Important: For streaming conversion (multiple function calls for successive
* parts of a text stream), the caller must provide a pivot buffer explicitly,
* and must preserve the pivot buffer and associated pointers from one
* call to another. (The buffer may be moved if its contents and the relative
* pointer positions are preserved.)
*
* There is a similar function, ucnv_convert(),
* which has the following limitations:
* - it takes charset names, not converter objects, so that
* - two converters are opened for each call
* - only single-string conversion is possible, not streaming operation
* - it does not provide enough information to find out,
* in case of failure, whether the toUnicode or
* the fromUnicode conversion failed
*
* By contrast, ucnv_convertEx()
* - takes UConverter parameters instead of charset names
* - fully exposes the pivot buffer for streaming conversion and complete error handling
*
* ucnv_convertEx() also provides further convenience:
* - an option to reset the converters at the beginning
* (if reset==TRUE, see parameters;
* also sets *pivotTarget=*pivotSource=pivotStart)
* - allow NUL-terminated input
* (only a single NUL byte, will not work for charsets with multi-byte NULs)
* (if sourceLimit==NULL, see parameters)
* - terminate with a NUL on output
* (only a single NUL byte, not useful for charsets with multi-byte NULs),
* or set U_STRING_NOT_TERMINATED_WARNING if the output exactly fills
* the target buffer
* - the pivot buffer can be provided internally;
* possible only for whole-string conversion, not streaming conversion;
* in this case, the caller will not be able to get details about where an
* error occurred
* (if pivotStart==NULL, see below)
*
* The function returns when one of the following is true:
* - the entire source text has been converted successfully to the target buffer
* - a target buffer overflow occurred (U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR)
* - a conversion error occurred
* (other U_FAILURE(), see description of pErrorCode)
*
* Limitation compared to the direct use of
* ucnv_fromUnicode() and ucnv_toUnicode():
* ucnv_convertEx() does not provide offset information.
*
* Limitation compared to ucnv_fromUChars() and ucnv_toUChars():
* ucnv_convertEx() does not support preflighting directly.
*
* Sample code for converting a single string from
* one external charset to UTF-8, ignoring the location of errors:
*
* \code
* int32_t
* myToUTF8(UConverter *cnv,
* const char *s, int32_t length,
* char *u8, int32_t capacity,
* UErrorCode *pErrorCode) {
* UConverter *utf8Cnv;
* char *target;
*
* if(U_FAILURE(*pErrorCode)) {
* return 0;
* }
*
* utf8Cnv=myGetCachedUTF8Converter(pErrorCode);
* if(U_FAILURE(*pErrorCode)) {
* return 0;
* }
*
* if(length<0) {
* length=strlen(s);
* }
* target=u8;
* ucnv_convertEx(utf8Cnv, cnv,
* &target, u8+capacity,
* &s, s+length,
* NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
* TRUE, TRUE,
* pErrorCode);
*
* myReleaseCachedUTF8Converter(utf8Cnv);
*
* // return the output string length, but without preflighting
* return (int32_t)(target-u8);
* }
* \endcode
*
* @param targetCnv Output converter, used to convert from the UTF-16 pivot
* to the target using ucnv_fromUnicode().
* @param sourceCnv Input converter, used to convert from the source to
* the UTF-16 pivot using ucnv_toUnicode().
* @param target I/O parameter, same as for ucnv_fromUChars().
* Input: *target points to the beginning of the target buffer.
* Output: *target points to the first unit after the last char written.
* @param targetLimit Pointer to the first unit after the target buffer.
* @param source I/O parameter, same as for ucnv_toUChars().
* Input: *source points to the beginning of the source buffer.
* Output: *source points to the first unit after the last char read.
* @param sourceLimit Pointer to the first unit after the source buffer.
* @param pivotStart Pointer to the UTF-16 pivot buffer. If pivotStart==NULL,
* then an internal buffer is used and the other pivot
* arguments are ignored and can be NULL as well.
* @param pivotSource I/O parameter, same as source in ucnv_fromUChars() for
* conversion from the pivot buffer to the target buffer.
* @param pivotTarget I/O parameter, same as target in ucnv_toUChars() for
* conversion from the source buffer to the pivot buffer.
* It must be pivotStart<=*pivotSource<=*pivotTarget<=pivotLimit
* and pivotStart<pivotLimit (unless pivotStart==NULL).
* @param pivotLimit Pointer to the first unit after the pivot buffer.
* @param reset If TRUE, then ucnv_resetToUnicode(sourceCnv) and
* ucnv_resetFromUnicode(targetCnv) are called, and the
* pivot pointers are reset (*pivotTarget=*pivotSource=pivotStart).
* @param flush If true, indicates the end of the input.
* Passed directly to ucnv_toUnicode(), and carried over to
* ucnv_fromUnicode() when the source is empty as well.
* @param pErrorCode ICU error code in/out parameter.
* Must fulfill U_SUCCESS before the function call.
* U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR always refers to the target buffer
* because overflows into the pivot buffer are handled internally.
* Other conversion errors are from the source-to-pivot
* conversion if *pivotSource==pivotStart, otherwise from
* the pivot-to-target conversion.

* Returns whether or not the charset of the converter has a fixed number of bytes

* An example of this are converters that are of the type UCNV_SBCS or UCNV_DBCS.
* Another example is UTF-32 which is always 4 bytes per character.
* A Unicode code point may be represented by more than one UTF-8 or UTF-16 code unit
* but a UTF-32 converter encodes each code point with 4 bytes.
* Note: This method is not intended to be used to determine whether the charset has a
* fixed ratio of bytes to Unicode codes <i>units</i> for any particular Unicode encoding form.
* FALSE is returned with the UErrorCode if error occurs or cnv is NULL.
* @param cnv The converter to be tested
* @param status ICU error code in/out paramter
* @return TRUE if the converter is fixed-width
