pub fn locale_to_utf8(opsysstring: &[u8]) -> Result<(GString, usize), CvtError>
Expand description
Converts a string which is in the encoding used for strings by the C runtime (usually the same as that used by the operating system) in the [current locale][setlocale] into a UTF-8 string.
If the source encoding is not UTF-8 and the conversion output contains a
nul character, the error ConvertError::EmbeddedNul
is set and the
function returns None
.
If the source encoding is UTF-8, an embedded nul character is treated with
the ConvertError::IllegalSequence
error for backward compatibility with
earlier versions of this library. Use g_convert() to produce output that
may contain embedded nul characters.
§opsysstring
a string in the encoding of the current locale. On Windows this means the system codepage.
§Returns
The converted string, or None
on an error.
§bytes_read
location to store the number of bytes in the
input string that were successfully converted, or None
.
Even if the conversion was successful, this may be
less than @len if there were partial characters
at the end of the input. If the error
ConvertError::IllegalSequence
occurs, the value
stored will be the byte offset after the last valid
input sequence.
§bytes_written
the number of bytes stored in the output buffer (not including the terminating nul). Converts a string which is in the encoding used for strings by the C runtime (usually the same as that used by the operating system) in the [current locale][setlocale] into a UTF-8 string.
If the source encoding is not UTF-8 and the conversion output contains a
