NAME
mconv_encode_buffer - Encode an M-text into a buffer area.
SYNOPSIS
int mconv_encode_buffer (MSymbol name, MText * mt, unsigned char * buf, int n)
DESCRIPTION
The mconv_encode_buffer() function encodes M-text mt based on coding system name and writes the resulting byte sequence into the buffer area pointed to by buf. At most n bytes are written. A temporary code converter for encoding is automatically created and freed.
RETURN VALUE
If the operation was successful, mconv_encode_buffer() returns the number of written bytes. Otherwise it returns -1 and assigns an error code to the external variable merror_code.
ERRORS
MERROR_IO, MERROR_CODING
