💖 mconv_encode — the m17n Library's little byte-maker 💖

okay bestie, welcome to mconv_encode(3m17n), straight out of the m17n Library. this is the one that takes your pretty M-text and turns it into actual bytes. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mconv_encode (MConverter * converter, MText * mt)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: mconv_encode() encodes an M-text into a byte sequence. you hand it your M-text mt, and it writes the resulting byte sequence into wherever converter is currently pointing — either a buffer area or a stream, depending on what's bound to that MConverter * converter right now. it's giving "translation era". 💅

🌸 RETURN VALUE 🌸

if everything went slay, mconv_encode() returns the number of written bytes. iconic. ✨

if it did not go slay, it returns -1 and drops an error code into the external variable merror_code. 😭

🎀 ERRORS 🎀

  • MERROR_IO
  • MERROR_CODING
