/**
 * \file
 * \brief C API: Character conversion
 *
 * <h2>Character Conversion C API</h2>
 *
 * <p>This API is used to convert codepage or character encoded data to and
 * from UTF-16. You can open a converter with {@link ucnv_open() }. With that
 * converter, you can get its properties, set options, convert your data and
 * close the converter.</p>
 *
 * <p>Since many software programs recognize different converter names for
 * different types of converters, there are other functions in this API to
 * iterate over the converter aliases. The functions {@link ucnv_getAvailableName() },
 * {@link ucnv_getAlias() } and {@link ucnv_getStandardName() } are some of the
 * more frequently used alias functions to get this information.</p>
 *
 * <p>When a converter encounters an illegal, irregular, invalid or unmappable character
 * its default behavior is to use a substitution character to replace the
 * bad byte sequence. This behavior can be changed by using {@link ucnv_setFromUCallBack() }
 * or {@link ucnv_setToUCallBack() } on the converter. The header ucnv_err.h defines
 * many other callback actions that can be used instead of a character substitution.</p>
 *
 * <p>More information about this API can be found in our
 * <a href="http://icu-project.org/userguide/conversion.html">User's
 * Guide</a>.</p>

 * buffer of guaranteed sufficient size for a given input length and converter.
 *
 * Examples for special cases that are taken into account:
 * - Supplementary code points may convert to more bytes than BMP code points.
 *   This function returns bytes per UChar (UTF-16 code unit), not per
 *   Unicode code point, for efficient buffer allocation.
 * - State-shifting output (SI/SO, escapes, etc.) from stateful converters.
 * - When m input UChars are converted to n output bytes, then the maximum m/n

 * The number returned here does not take into account
 * (see UCNV_GET_MAX_BYTES_FOR_STRING):
 * - callbacks which output more than one charset character sequence per call,
 *   like escape callbacks
 * - initial and final non-character bytes that are output by some converters
 *   (automatic BOMs, initial escape sequence, final SI, etc.)
 *
 * Examples for returned values:
 * - SBCS charsets: 1
 * - Shift-JIS: 2
 * - UTF-16: 2 (2 per BMP, 4 per surrogate _pair_, BOM not counted)
 * - UTF-8: 3 (3 per BMP, 4 per surrogate _pair_)
 * - EBCDIC_STATEFUL (EBCDIC mixed SBCS/DBCS): 3 (SO + DBCS)

/**
 * Convert a codepage buffer into Unicode one character at a time.
 * The input is completely consumed when the U_INDEX_OUTOFBOUNDS_ERROR is set.
 *
 * Advantage compared to ucnv_toUnicode() or ucnv_toUChars():
 * - Faster for small amounts of data, for most converters, e.g.,
 *   US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, UTF-8/16/32, and most "normal" charsets.
 *   (For complex converters, e.g., SCSU, UTF-7 and ISO 2022 variants,
 *    it uses ucnv_toUnicode() internally.)
 * - Convenient.
 *
 * Limitations compared to ucnv_toUnicode():
 * - Always assumes flush=TRUE.
 *   This makes ucnv_getNextUChar() unsuitable for "streaming" conversion,
 *   that is, for where the input is supplied in multiple buffers,
 *   because ucnv_getNextUChar() will assume the end of the input at the end
 *   of the first buffer.
 * - Does not provide offset output.
 *
 * It is possible to "mix" ucnv_getNextUChar() and ucnv_toUnicode() because
 * ucnv_getNextUChar() uses the current state of the converter
 * (unlike ucnv_toUChars() which always resets first).
 * However, if ucnv_getNextUChar() is called after ucnv_toUnicode()
 * stopped in the middle of a character sequence (with flush=FALSE),
 * then ucnv_getNextUChar() will always use the slower ucnv_toUnicode()
 * internally until the next character boundary.
 * (This is new in ICU 2.6. In earlier releases, ucnv_getNextUChar() had to
 * start at a character boundary.)
 *
 * Instead of using ucnv_getNextUChar(), it is recommended
 * to convert using ucnv_toUnicode() or ucnv_toUChars()
 * and then iterate over the text using U16_NEXT() or a UCharIterator (uiter.h)
 * or a C++ CharacterIterator or similar.
 * This allows streaming conversion and offset output, for example.
 *
 * <p>Handling of surrogate pairs and supplementary-plane code points:<br>
 * There are two different kinds of codepages that provide mappings for surrogate characters:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Codepages like UTF-8, UTF-32, and GB 18030 provide direct representations for Unicode
 *       code points U+10000-U+10ffff as well as for single surrogates U+d800-U+dfff.
 *       Each valid sequence will result in exactly one returned code point.
 *       If a sequence results in a single surrogate, then that will be returned
 *       by itself, even if a neighboring sequence encodes the matching surrogate.</li>
 *   <li>Codepages like SCSU and LMBCS (and UTF-16) provide direct representations only for BMP code points
 *       including surrogates. Code points in supplementary planes are represented with
 *       two sequences, each encoding a surrogate.
 *       For these codepages, matching pairs of surrogates will be combined into single
 *       code points for returning from this function.
 *       (Note that SCSU is actually a mix of these codepage types.)</li>
 * </ul></p>
 *
 * @param converter an open UConverter
 * @param source the address of a pointer to the codepage buffer, will be
 *  updated to point after the bytes consumed in the conversion call.
 * @param sourceLimit points to the end of the input buffer
 * @param err fills in error status (see ucnv_toUnicode)
 * <code>U_INDEX_OUTOFBOUNDS_ERROR</code> will be set if the input
 * is empty or does not convert to any output (e.g.: pure state-change
 * codes SI/SO, escape sequences for ISO 2022,
 * or if the callback did not output anything, ...).
 * This function will not set a <code>U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR</code> because
 *  the "buffer" is the return code. However, there might be subsequent output
 *  stored in the converter object
 * that will be returned in following calls to this function.

/**
 * Convert from one external charset to another using two existing UConverters.
 * Internally, two conversions - ucnv_toUnicode() and ucnv_fromUnicode() -
 * are used, "pivoting" through 16-bit Unicode.
 *
 * Important: For streaming conversion (multiple function calls for successive
 * parts of a text stream), the caller must provide a pivot buffer explicitly,
 * and must preserve the pivot buffer and associated pointers from one
 * call to another. (The buffer may be moved if its contents and the relative
 * pointer positions are preserved.)
 *
 * There is a similar function, ucnv_convert(),
 * which has the following limitations:
 * - it takes charset names, not converter objects, so that
 *   - two converters are opened for each call
 *   - only single-string conversion is possible, not streaming operation
 * - it does not provide enough information to find out,
 *   in case of failure, whether the toUnicode or
 *   the fromUnicode conversion failed
 *
 * By contrast, ucnv_convertEx()
 * - takes UConverter parameters instead of charset names
 * - fully exposes the pivot buffer for streaming conversion and complete error handling
 *
 * ucnv_convertEx() also provides further convenience:
 * - an option to reset the converters at the beginning
 *   (if reset==TRUE, see parameters;
 *    also sets *pivotTarget=*pivotSource=pivotStart)
 * - allow NUL-terminated input
 *   (only a single NUL byte, will not work for charsets with multi-byte NULs)
 *   (if sourceLimit==NULL, see parameters)
 * - terminate with a NUL on output
 *   (only a single NUL byte, not useful for charsets with multi-byte NULs),
 *   or set U_STRING_NOT_TERMINATED_WARNING if the output exactly fills
 *   the target buffer
 * - the pivot buffer can be provided internally;
 *   possible only for whole-string conversion, not streaming conversion;
 *   in this case, the caller will not be able to get details about where an
 *   error occurred
 *   (if pivotStart==NULL, see below)
 *
 * The function returns when one of the following is true:
 * - the entire source text has been converted successfully to the target buffer
 * - a target buffer overflow occurred (U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR)
 * - a conversion error occurred
 *   (other U_FAILURE(), see description of pErrorCode)
 *
 * Limitation compared to the direct use of
 * ucnv_fromUnicode() and ucnv_toUnicode():
 * ucnv_convertEx() does not provide offset information.
 *
 * Limitation compared to ucnv_fromUChars() and ucnv_toUChars():
 * ucnv_convertEx() does not support preflighting directly.

 * one external charset to UTF-8, ignoring the location of errors:
