NAME

       do_uconvert  -  Converts  a  string to another encoding format. Allegro
       game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void do_uconvert(const char *s, int type, char *buf, int  newtype,  int
       size);

DESCRIPTION

       Converts  the specified string `s' from `type' to `newtype', storing at
       most `size' bytes into the output `buf'. The type  parameters  can  use
       the  value  U_CURRENT as a shortcut to represent the currently selected
       encoding format. Example:

          char temp_string[256];
          do_uconvert(input_string, U_CURRENT, temp_string, U_ASCII, 256);

       Note that, even for empty strings, your destination string must have at
       least  enough  bytes  to  store  the  terminating null character of the
       string, and your parameter size must reflect this. Otherwise, the debug
       version  of Allegro will abort at an assertion, and the release version
       of Allegro will overrun the destination buffer.
