Function: 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

Function: 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

Function: 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

Function type: xmlCharEncodingInputFunc

Function type: xmlCharEncodingInputFunc
int	xmlCharEncodingInputFunc	(unsigned char * out, 
					 int * outlen, 
					 const unsigned char * in, 
					 int * inlen)

Take a block of chars in the original encoding and try to convert it to an UTF-8 block of chars out.

out:a pointer to an array of bytes to store the UTF-8 result
outlen:the length of @out
in:a pointer to an array of chars in the original encoding
inlen:the length of @in
Returns:the number of bytes written, -1 if lack of space, or -2 if the transcoding failed. The value of @inlen after return is the number of octets consumed if the return value is positive, else unpredictiable. The value of @outlen after return is the number of octets consumed.

Function type: xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc

Function type: xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc
int	xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc	(unsigned char * out, 
					 int * outlen, 
					 const unsigned char * in, 
					 int * inlen)

Take a block of UTF-8 chars in and try to convert it to another encoding. Note: a first call designed to produce heading info is called with in = NULL. If stateful this should also initialize the encoder state.

out:a pointer to an array of bytes to store the result
outlen:the length of @out
in:a pointer to an array of UTF-8 chars
inlen:the length of @in
Returns:the number of bytes written, -1 if lack of space, or -2 if the transcoding failed. The value of @inlen after return is the number of octets consumed if the return value is positive, else unpredictiable. The value of @outlen after return is the number of octets produced.

len:pointer to the length of the buffer
Returns:one of the XML_CHAR_ENCODING_... values.

Function: xmlFindCharEncodingHandler

Returns:NULL if not found, otherwise the original name

Function: xmlInitCharEncodingHandlers

void	xmlInitCharEncodingHandlers	(void)

Initialize the char encoding support, it registers the default encoding supported. NOTE: while public, this function usually doesn't need to be called in normal processing.

Function: xmlNewCharEncodingHandler

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

Create and registers an xmlCharEncodingHandler.

output:the xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc to write that encoding
Returns:the xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr created (or NULL in case of error).

Function: 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.

Returns:one of the XML_CHAR_ENCODING_... values or XML_CHAR_ENCODING_NONE if not recognized.

Function: xmlRegisterCharEncodingHandler
