Structure xmlCharEncodingHandler

    char *	name
    xmlCharEncodingInputFunc	input
    xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc	output
    iconv_t	iconv_in
    iconv_t	iconv_out

} xmlCharEncodingHandler;

Typedef xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr

xmlCharEncodingHandler * xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr;

Function type xmlCharEncodingInputFunc

int	xmlCharEncodingInputFunc	(unsigned char * out, 
					 int * outlen, 
					 const unsigned char * in, 
					 int * inlen)

Take a block of chars in the original encoding and try to convert it to an UTF-8 block of chars out.

Function type xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc

int	xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc	(unsigned char * out, 
					 int * outlen, 
					 const unsigned char * in, 
					 int * inlen)

Take a block of UTF-8 chars in and try to convert it to another encoding. Note: a first call designed to produce heading info is called with in = NULL. If stateful this should also initialize the encoder state.

UTF8Toisolat1 ()

int	UTF8Toisolat1			(unsigned char * out, 
					 int * outlen, 
					 const unsigned char * in, 
					 int * inlen)

Take a block of UTF-8 chars in and try to convert it to an ISO Latin 1 block of chars out.

isolat1ToUTF8 ()

int	isolat1ToUTF8			(unsigned char * out, 
					 int * outlen, 
					 const unsigned char * in, 
					 int * inlen)

Take a block of ISO Latin 1 chars in and try to convert it to an UTF-8 block of chars out.

xmlAddEncodingAlias ()

int	xmlAddEncodingAlias		(const char * name, 
					 const char * alias)

Registers an alias @alias for an encoding named @name. Existing alias will be overwritten.

xmlCharEncCloseFunc ()

int	xmlCharEncCloseFunc		(xmlCharEncodingHandler * handler)

Generic front-end for encoding handler close function

xmlCharEncFirstLine ()

int	xmlCharEncFirstLine		(xmlCharEncodingHandler * handler, 
					 xmlBufferPtr out, 
					 xmlBufferPtr in)

DEPERECATED: Don't use.

xmlCharEncInFunc ()

int	xmlCharEncInFunc		(xmlCharEncodingHandler * handler, 
					 xmlBufferPtr out, 
					 xmlBufferPtr in)

Generic front-end for the encoding handler input function

xmlCharEncOutFunc ()

int	xmlCharEncOutFunc		(xmlCharEncodingHandler * handler, 
					 xmlBufferPtr out, 
					 xmlBufferPtr in)

Generic front-end for the encoding handler output function a first call with @in == NULL has to be made firs to initiate the output in case of non-stateless encoding needing to initiate their state or the output (like the BOM in UTF16). In case of UTF8 sequence conversion errors for the given encoder, the content will be automatically remapped to a CharRef sequence.

xmlCleanupCharEncodingHandlers ()

void	xmlCleanupCharEncodingHandlers	(void)

DEPRECATED: This function will be made private. Call xmlCleanupParser to free global state but see the warnings there. xmlCleanupParser should be only called once at program exit. In most cases, you don't have call cleanup functions at all. Cleanup the memory allocated for the char encoding support, it unregisters all the encoding handlers and the aliases.

xmlCleanupEncodingAliases ()

void	xmlCleanupEncodingAliases	(void)

Unregisters all aliases

xmlDelEncodingAlias ()

int	xmlDelEncodingAlias		(const char * alias)

Unregisters an encoding alias @alias

xmlDetectCharEncoding ()

xmlCharEncoding	xmlDetectCharEncoding	(const unsigned char * in, 
					 int len)

Guess the encoding of the entity using the first bytes of the entity content according to the non-normative appendix F of the XML-1.0 recommendation.

xmlFindCharEncodingHandler ()

xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr	xmlFindCharEncodingHandler	(const char * name)

DEPRECATED: Use xmlOpenCharEncodingHandler which has better error reporting.

xmlGetCharEncodingHandler ()

xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr	xmlGetCharEncodingHandler	(xmlCharEncoding enc)

DEPRECATED: Use xmlLookupCharEncodingHandler which has better error reporting.

xmlGetCharEncodingName ()

const char *	xmlGetCharEncodingName	(xmlCharEncoding enc)

The "canonical" name for XML encoding. C.f. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#charencoding Section 4.3.3 Character Encoding in Entities

xmlGetEncodingAlias ()

const char *	xmlGetEncodingAlias	(const char * alias)

Lookup an encoding name for the given alias.

xmlInitCharEncodingHandlers ()

void	xmlInitCharEncodingHandlers	(void)

DEPRECATED: Alias for xmlInitParser.

xmlLookupCharEncodingHandler ()

int	xmlLookupCharEncodingHandler	(xmlCharEncoding enc, 
					 xmlCharEncodingHandler ** out)

Find or create a handler matching the encoding. If no default or registered handler could be found, try to create a handler using iconv or ICU if supported. The handler must be closed with xmlCharEncCloseFunc. Available since 2.13.0.

xmlNewCharEncodingHandler ()

xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr	xmlNewCharEncodingHandler	(const char * name, 
							 xmlCharEncodingInputFunc input, 
							 xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc output)

Create and registers an xmlCharEncodingHandler.

xmlOpenCharEncodingHandler ()

int	xmlOpenCharEncodingHandler	(const char * name, 
					 int output, 
					 xmlCharEncodingHandler ** out)

Find or create a handler matching the encoding. If no default or registered handler could be found, try to create a handler using iconv or ICU if supported. The handler must be closed with xmlCharEncCloseFunc. Available since 2.13.0.

xmlParseCharEncoding ()

xmlCharEncoding	xmlParseCharEncoding	(const char * name)

Compare the string to the encoding schemes already known. Note that the comparison is case insensitive accordingly to the section [XML] 4.3.3 Character Encoding in Entities.

xmlRegisterCharEncodingHandler ()

void	xmlRegisterCharEncodingHandler	(xmlCharEncodingHandlerPtr handler)

Register the char encoding handler, surprising, isn't it ?
