12# NAME
13
14CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION - convert data from UTF8 to host encoding
15
16# SYNOPSIS
17
18~~~c
19#include <curl/curl.h>
20
21CURLcode conv_callback(char *ptr, size_t length);
22
23CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION,
24                          conv_callback);
25~~~
26
27# DESCRIPTION
28
29Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
30shown above.
31
32Applies to non-ASCII platforms. curl_version_info(3) returns the
33CURL_VERSION_CONV feature bit set if this option is provided.
34
35The data to be converted is in a buffer pointed to by the *ptr* parameter.
36The amount of data to convert is indicated by the *length* parameter. The
37converted data overlays the input data in the buffer pointed to by the ptr
38parameter. *CURLE_OK* must be returned upon successful conversion. A
39CURLcode return value defined by curl.h, such as *CURLE_CONV_FAILED*,
40should be returned if an error was encountered.
41
42CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION(3) converts to host encoding from UTF8
43encoding. It is required only for SSL processing.
44
45If you set a callback pointer to NULL, or do not set it at all, the built-in
46libcurl iconv functions are used. If HAVE_ICONV was not defined when libcurl
47was built, and no callback has been established, the conversion returns the
48CURLE_CONV_REQD error code.
49
50If HAVE_ICONV is defined, CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST must also be defined.
51For example:
52~~~c
53 #define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST "IBM-1047"
54~~~
55
56The iconv code in libcurl defaults the network and UTF8 codeset names as
57follows:
58~~~c
59#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_NETWORK "ISO8859-1"
60
61#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_FOR_UTF8   "UTF-8"
62~~~
63
64You need to override these definitions if they are different on your system.

78{
79  int rc = 0;

81  if(rc == 0) {
82    /* success */
83    return CURLE_OK;
84  }
85  else {

98# AVAILABILITY
99
