Declaration [src]
gchar*
g_ucs4_to_utf8 (
const gunichar* str,
glong len,
glong* items_read,
glong* items_written,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Convert a string from a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4. to UTF-8.
The result will be terminated with a nul byte.
Parameters
str-
Type: An array of
gunicharA UCS-4 encoded string.
The length of the array is specified in the lenargument.The data is owned by the caller of the function. len-

Type:
glong*Location to store number of bytes written or
NULL. The value here stored does not include the trailing nul byte.The argument will be set by the function. The argument can be NULL. error-
Type:
GError **The return location for a recoverable error.
The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will be left initialized to NULLby the function if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
Return value
Type: gchar*
A pointer to a newly allocated UTF-8 string.
This value must be freed with g_free(). If an error occurs,
items_read will be set to the position of the first invalid input character.
| The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it. |
| The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. |
