 * These functions are like the C library's mbtowc() and wctomb(),
 * but instead of depending on the locale they always work in UTF-8,

/*
 * This is an object-oriented version of mbtowc() and wctomb().
 * The caller first uses charset_find() to get a pointer to struct
 * charset, then uses the mbtowc() and wctomb() methods on it.
 * The function charset_max() gives the maximum length of a
 * multibyte character in that encoding.
 * This API is only appropriate for stateless encodings like UTF-8
 * or ISO-8859-3, but I have no intention of implementing anything
 * other than UTF-8 and 8-bit encodings.
 *
 * MINOR BUG: If there is no memory charset_find() may return 0 and
 * there is no way to distinguish this case from an unknown encoding.

/*
 * Function to convert a buffer from one encoding to another.
 * Invalid bytes are replaced by '#', and characters that are
 * not available in the target encoding are replaced by '?'.
 * Each of TO and TOLEN may be zero if the result is not wanted.
 * The input or output may contain null bytes, but the output
 * buffer is also null-terminated, so it is all right to
 * use charset_convert(fromcode, tocode, s, strlen(s), &t, 0).
 *
 * Return value:
 *
 *  -2 : memory allocation failed
 *  -1 : unknown encoding
 *   0 : data was converted exactly
 *   1 : valid data was converted approximately (using '?')
 *   2 : input was invalid (but still converted, using '#')
