* g_converter_convert:
* @converter: a #GConverter.
2010-12-27 16:29:20 +01:00
* @inbuf: (array length=inbuf_size) (element-type guint8): the buffer
* containing the data to convert.
* @inbuf_size: the number of bytes in @inbuf
* @outbuf: a buffer to write converted data in.
* @outbuf_size: the number of bytes in @outbuf, must be at least one
* @flags: a #GConverterFlags controlling the conversion details
2010-12-27 16:29:20 +01:00
* @bytes_read: (out): will be set to the number of bytes read from @inbuf on success
* @bytes_written: (out): will be set to the number of bytes written to @outbuf on success
* @error: location to store the error occurring, or %NULL to ignore
*
* This is the main operation used when converting data. It is to be called
* multiple times in a loop, and each time it will do some work, i.e.
* producing some output (in @outbuf) or consuming some input (from @inbuf) or
* both. If its not possible to do any work an error is returned.
*
* Note that a single call may not consume all input (or any input at all).
* Also a call may produce output even if given no input, due to state stored
* in the converter producing output.
*
* If any data was either produced or consumed, and then an error happens, then
* only the successful conversion is reported and the error is returned on the
* next call.
*
* A full conversion loop involves calling this method repeatedly, each time
* giving it new input and space output space. When there is no more input
* data after the data in @inbuf, the flag %G_CONVERTER_INPUT_AT_END must be set.
* The loop will be (unless some error happens) returning %G_CONVERTER_CONVERTED
* each time until all data is consumed and all output is produced, then
* %G_CONVERTER_FINISHED is returned instead. Note, that %G_CONVERTER_FINISHED
* may be returned even if %G_CONVERTER_INPUT_AT_END is not set, for instance
* in a decompression converter where the end of data is detectable from the
* data (and there might even be other data after the end of the compressed data).
*
* When some data has successfully been converted @bytes_read and is set to
* the number of bytes read from @inbuf, and @bytes_written is set to indicate
* how many bytes was written to @outbuf. If there are more data to output
2011-06-08 17:26:08 +02:00
* or consume (i.e. unless the %G_CONVERTER_INPUT_AT_END is specified) then
* %G_CONVERTER_CONVERTED is returned, and if no more data is to be output
* then %G_CONVERTER_FINISHED is returned.
*
* On error %G_CONVERTER_ERROR is returned and @error is set accordingly.
* Some errors need special handling:
*
* %G_IO_ERROR_NO_SPACE is returned if there is not enough space
* to write the resulting converted data, the application should
* call the function again with a larger @outbuf to continue.
*
* %G_IO_ERROR_PARTIAL_INPUT is returned if there is not enough
* input to fully determine what the conversion should produce,
* and the %G_CONVERTER_INPUT_AT_END flag is not set. This happens for
* example with an incomplete multibyte sequence when converting text,
* or when a regexp matches up to the end of the input (and may match
* further input). It may also happen when @inbuf_size is zero and
* there is no more data to produce.
*
* When this happens the application should read more input and then
* call the function again. If further input shows that there is no
* more data call the function again with the same data but with
* the %G_CONVERTER_INPUT_AT_END flag set. This may cause the conversion
* to finish as e.g. in the regexp match case (or, to fail again with
* %G_IO_ERROR_PARTIAL_INPUT in e.g. a charset conversion where the
* input is actually partial).
*
* After g_converter_convert() has returned %G_CONVERTER_FINISHED the
* converter object is in an invalid state where its not allowed
* to call g_converter_convert() anymore. At this time you can only
* free the object or call g_converter_reset() to reset it to the
* initial state.
*
* If the flag %G_CONVERTER_FLUSH is set then conversion is modified
* to try to write out all internal state to the output. The application
* has to call the function multiple times with the flag set, and when
* the available input has been consumed and all internal state has
* been produced then %G_CONVERTER_FLUSHED (or %G_CONVERTER_FINISHED if
* really at the end) is returned instead of %G_CONVERTER_CONVERTED.
* This is somewhat similar to what happens at the end of the input stream,
* but done in the middle of the data.
*
* This has different meanings for different conversions. For instance
* in a compression converter it would mean that we flush all the
* compression state into output such that if you uncompress the
* compressed data you get back all the input data. Doing this may
* make the final file larger due to padding though. Another example
* is a regexp conversion, where if you at the end of the flushed data
* have a match, but there is also a potential longer match. In the
* non-flushed case we would ask for more input, but when flushing we
* treat this as the end of input and do the match.
*
* Flushing is not always possible (like if a charset converter flushes
* at a partial multibyte sequence). Converters are supposed to try
* to produce as much output as possible and then return an error
* (typically %G_IO_ERROR_PARTIAL_INPUT).
*
* Returns: a #GConverterResult, %G_CONVERTER_ERROR on error.
*
* Since: 2.24
