Typedef xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr

xmlCharEncodingHandler * xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr;







xmlCharEncCloseFunc ()

int	xmlCharEncCloseFunc		(xmlCharEncodingHandler * handler)

Generic front-end for encoding handler close function

handler:char encoding transformation data structure
Returns:0 if success, or -1 in case of error

xmlCharEncFirstLine ()

int	xmlCharEncFirstLine		(xmlCharEncodingHandler * handler, 
xmlBufferPtr out,
xmlBufferPtr in)

Front-end for the encoding handler input function, but handle only the very first line, i.e. limit itself to 45 chars.

handler:char encoding transformation data structure
out:an xmlBuffer for the output.
in:an xmlBuffer for the input
Returns:the number of byte written if success, or -1 general error -2 if the transcoding fails (for *in is not valid utf8 string or the result of transformation can't fit into the encoding we want), or

xmlCharEncInFunc ()

int	xmlCharEncInFunc		(xmlCharEncodingHandler * handler, 
xmlBufferPtr out,
xmlBufferPtr in)

Generic front-end for the encoding handler input function

handler:char encoding transformation data structure
out:an xmlBuffer for the output.
in:an xmlBuffer for the input
Returns:the number of byte written if success, or -1 general error -2 if the transcoding fails (for *in is not valid utf8 string or the result of transformation can't fit into the encoding we want), or

xmlCharEncOutFunc ()

int	xmlCharEncOutFunc		(xmlCharEncodingHandler * handler, 
xmlBufferPtr out,
xmlBufferPtr in)

Generic front-end for the encoding handler output function a first call with @in == NULL has to be made firs to initiate the output in case of non-stateless encoding needing to initiate their state or the output (like the BOM in UTF16). In case of UTF8 sequence conversion errors for the given encoder, the content will be automatically remapped to a CharRef sequence.

handler:char encoding transformation data structure
out:an xmlBuffer for the output.
in:an xmlBuffer for the input
Returns:the number of byte written if success, or -1 general error -2 if the transcoding fails (for *in is not valid utf8 string or the result of transformation can't fit into the encoding we want), or




xmlDetectCharEncoding ()

xmlCharEncoding	xmlDetectCharEncoding	(const unsigned char * in, 
int len)

Guess the encoding of the entity using the first bytes of the entity content according to the non-normative appendix F of the XML-1.0 recommendation.

in:a pointer to the first bytes of the XML entity, must be at least 2 bytes long (at least 4 if encoding is UTF4 variant).
len:pointer to the length of the buffer
Returns:one of the XML_CHAR_ENCODING_... values.

xmlFindCharEncodingHandler ()

xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr	xmlFindCharEncodingHandler	(const char * name)

Search in the registered set the handler able to read/write that encoding.

name:a string describing the char encoding.
Returns:the handler or NULL if not found

xmlGetCharEncodingHandler ()

xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr	xmlGetCharEncodingHandler	(xmlCharEncoding enc)

Search in the registered set the handler able to read/write that encoding.

enc:an xmlCharEncoding value.
Returns:the handler or NULL if not found

xmlGetCharEncodingName ()

const char *	xmlGetCharEncodingName	(xmlCharEncoding enc)

The "canonical" name for XML encoding. C.f. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#charencoding Section 4.3.3 Character Encoding in Entities

enc:the encoding
Returns:the canonical name for the given encoding



xmlNewCharEncodingHandler ()

xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr	xmlNewCharEncodingHandler	(const char * name, 
xmlCharEncodingInputFunc input,
xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc output)

Create and registers an xmlCharEncodingHandler.

name:the encoding name, in UTF-8 format (ASCII actually)
input:the xmlCharEncodingInputFunc to read that encoding
output:the xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc to write that encoding
Returns:the xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr created (or NULL in case of error).

xmlParseCharEncoding ()

xmlCharEncoding	xmlParseCharEncoding	(const char * name)

Compare the string to the encoding schemes already known. Note that the comparison is case insensitive accordingly to the section [XML] 4.3.3 Character Encoding in Entities.

name:the encoding name as parsed, in UTF-8 format (ASCII actually)
Returns:one of the XML_CHAR_ENCODING_... values or XML_CHAR_ENCODING_NONE if not recognized.

xmlRegisterCharEncodingHandler ()

void	xmlRegisterCharEncodingHandler	(xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr handler)

Register the char encoding handler, surprising, isn't it ?

handler:the xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr handler block
