NAME

       mconv_buffer_converter - Create a code converter bound to a buffer.

SYNOPSIS

       MConverter* mconv_buffer_converter (MSymbol name, const unsigned char * buf, int n)

DESCRIPTION

       Create a code converter bound to a buffer. The mconv_buffer_converter() function creates a
       pointer to a code converter for coding system name.  The code converter is bound to buffer
       area of n bytes pointed to by buf.  Subsequent decodings and encodings are done to/from
       this buffer area.

       name can be Mnil.  In this case, a coding system associated with the current locale
       (LC_CTYPE) is used.

RETURN VALUE

           If the operation was successful, mconv_buffer_converter() returns the created code
           converter. Otherwise it returns NULL and assigns an error code to the external
           variable merror_code.

ERRORS

           MERROR_SYMBOL, MERROR_CODING
