  * \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 recogize 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>

 /**
  * Converts a buffer of codepage bytes into an array of unicode UChars
  * characters. This function is optimized for converting a continuous
  * stream of data in buffer-sized chunks, where the entire source and
  * target does not fit in available buffers.
  *
  * The source pointer is an in/out parameter. It starts out pointing where the
  * conversion is to begin, and ends up pointing after the last byte of source consumed.
  *
  * Target similarly starts out pointer at the first available UChar in the output
  * buffer, and ends up pointing after the last UChar written to the output.
  * It does NOT necessarily keep UChar sequences together.
  *
  * The converter always attempts to consume the entire source buffer, unless
  * (1.) the target buffer is full, or (2.) a failing error is returned from the
  * current callback function.  When a successful error status has been
  * returned, it means that all of the source buffer has been
  *  consumed. At that point, the caller should reset the source and
  *  sourceLimit pointers to point to the next chunk.
  *
  * At the end of the stream (flush==TRUE), the input is completely consumed
  * when *source==sourceLimit and no error code is set
  * The converter object is then automatically reset by this function.
  * (This means that a converter need not be reset explicitly between data
  * streams if it finishes the previous stream without errors.)
  *
  * This is a <I>stateful</I> conversion. Additionally, even when all source data has
  * been consumed, some data may be in the converters' internal state.
  * Call this function repeatedly, updating the target pointers with
  * the next empty chunk of target in case of a
  * <TT>U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR</TT>, and updating the source  pointers
  *  with the next chunk of source when a successful error status is
  * returned, until there are no more chunks of source data.
  * @param converter the Unicode converter
  * @param target I/O parameter. Input : Points to the beginning of the buffer to copy
  *  UChars into. Output : points to after the last UChar copied.
  * @param targetLimit the pointer just after the end of the <TT>target</TT> buffer
  * @param source I/O parameter, pointer to pointer to the source codepage buffer.
  * @param sourceLimit the pointer to the byte after the end of the source buffer
  * @param offsets if NULL is passed, nothing will happen to it, otherwise it needs to have the same number
  * of allocated cells as <TT>target</TT>. Will fill in offsets from target to source pointer
  * e.g: <TT>offsets[3]</TT> is equal to 6, it means that the <TT>target[3]</TT> was a result of transcoding <TT>source[6]</TT>
  * For output data carried across calls, and other data without a specific source character
  * (such as from escape sequences or callbacks)  -1 will be placed for offsets.
  * @param flush set to <TT>TRUE</TT> if the current source buffer is the last available
  * chunk of the source, <TT>FALSE</TT> otherwise. Note that if a failing status is returned,
  * this function may have to be called multiple times with flush set to <TT>TRUE</TT> until
  * the source buffer is consumed.
  * @param err the error status.  <TT>U_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT_ERROR</TT> will be set if the
  * converter is <TT>NULL</TT>.

 /**
  * 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

  *
  * 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

  *
  * There is a similar function, ucnv_convert(),

  *   - only single-string conversion is possible, not streaming operation
  * - it does not provide enough information to find out,

  *

  * - 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:

  *    also sets *pivotTarget=*pivotSource=pivotStart)
  * - allow NUL-terminated input

  *   (if sourceLimit==NULL, see parameters)
  * - terminate with a NUL on output
  *   (only a single NUL byte, not useful for charsets with multi-byte NULs),

  *   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 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.
