✨ mconv_decode_buffer ✨

ok so bestie, welcome to the m17n manual (that's section 3m17n, the library pages, iykyk) 💖 and today's main character is mconv_decode_buffer — she's giving decode-a-whole-buffer energy and honestly? she ate.

🌸 NAME 🌸

mconv_decode_buffer — decode a buffer area based on a coding system 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

MText* mconv_decode_buffer (MSymbol name, const unsigned char * buf, int n)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here's the tea ☕. The mconv_decode_buffer() function decodes n bytes of the buffer area pointed to by buf, and it does it based on the coding system name 🧚. That's it, that's the whole vibe.

And the way she's so low maintenance — a temporary code converter for decoding gets automatically created and freed for you. No setup, no cleanup, no stress, no cap ✨.

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

  • If the operation was successful, mconv_decode_buffer() returns the resulting M-text 💜
  • Otherwise it returns NULL and assigns an error code to the external variable merror_code 😭

💀 ERRORS 💀

  • MERROR_IO
  • MERROR_CODING

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

  • mconv_decode_stream()
