The \fBkiconv_open()\fR function returns a code conversion descriptor that
describes a conversion from the codeset specified by \fIfromcode\fR to the
codeset specified by \fItocode\fR. For state-dependent encodings, the
conversion descriptor is in a codeset-dependent initial state (ready for
immediate use with the \fBkiconv()\fR function).
.sp

Supported code conversions are between \fBUTF-8\fR and the following:

A conversion descriptor remains valid until it is closed by using
\fBkiconv_close()\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBkiconv_open()\fR returns a code conversion
descriptor for use on subsequent calls to \fBkiconv()\fR. Otherwise, if the
conversion specified by \fIfromcode\fR and \fItocode\fR is not supported or for
any other reasons the code conversion descriptor cannot be allocated,
\fBkiconv_open()\fR returns (\fBkiconv_t\fR)-1 to indicate the error.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
\fBkiconv_open()\fR can be called from user context only.

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
The code conversions are available between \fBUTF-8\fR and the above noted
\fIcodesets\fR. For example, to convert from \fBEUC-JP \fRto \fBShift_JIS\fR,
first convert \fBEUC-JP\fR to \fBUTF-8\fR and then convert \fBUTF-8\fR to
\fBShift_JIS\fR.
.sp
.LP
The code conversions supported are based on simple one-to-one mappings. There
is no special treatment or processing done during code conversions such as case
conversion, Unicode Normalization, or mapping between combining or conjoining
sequences of \fBUTF-\fR8 and pre-composed characters in non-\fBUTF-8\fR
codesets.
.sp
.LP
All supported non-\fBUTF-8\fR codesets use pre-composed characters only.
However, \fBUTF-8\fR allows combining or conjoining characters too. For this
reason, using a form of Unicode Normalizations on \fBUTF-8\fR text with
\fBu8_textprep_str()\fR before or after doing code conversions might be
necessary.
