💖 QTextDecoder — the qtextdecoder.3qt manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so welcome to QTextDecoder(3qt) bestie, this is the whole thing, no skips, we're doing all of it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

QTextDecoder — a state-based decoder 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so first thing, the vibe check:

All the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with thread support.

that means when Qt gets built with thread support, every function in here is reentrant, periodt 💅

#include <qtextcodec.h>

👑 Public Members

virtual ~QTextDecoder ()
virtual QString toUnicode ( const char * chars, int len ) = 0

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The QTextDecoder class provides a state-based decoder. it's literally right there in the name, iykyk.

The decoder converts a text format into Unicode, and the way that it does this is by remembering any state that is required between calls. like it's not a one-and-done situation, she remembers things. main character energy fr fr ✨

💅 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 💅

QTextDecoder::~QTextDecoder () [virtual]

Destroys the decoder. bye bestie 😭👋

QString QTextDecoder::toUnicode ( const char * chars, int len ) [pure virtual]

Converts the first len bytes in chars to Unicode, returning the result. that's the whole job and she does it 💖

If not all characters are used (e.g. if only part of a multi-byte encoding is at the end of the characters), the decoder remembers enough state to continue with the next call to this function. so like, if a multi-byte character got cut off at the end, she's not gonna panic, she just holds onto that state until the next call. iconic behavior honestly 🌈
