linux下C转码函数：iconv使用
在linux下，如果需要将编码格式转换，可以使用iconv系列函数。
头文件：
iconv.h
常用函数：
/* Identifier for conversion method from one codeset to another. */ typedefvoid *iconv_t; /* Allocate descriptor for code conversion from codeset FROMCODE to codeset TOCODE. This function is a possible cancellation points and therefore not marked with __THROW. */ externiconv_ticonv_open (__constchar *__tocode, __constchar *__fromcode); /* Convert at most *INBYTESLEFT bytes from *INBUF according to the code conversion algorithm specified by CD and place up to *OUTBYTESLEFT bytes in buffer at *OUTBUF. */ externsize_ticonv (iconv_t __cd, char **__restrict __inbuf, size_t *__restrict __inbytesleft, char **__restrict __outbuf, size_t *__restrict __outbytesleft); /* Free resources allocated for descriptor CD for code conversion. This function is a possible cancellation points and therefore not marked with __THROW. */ externinticonv_close (iconv_t __cd);
注意事项
：
1）outlen和inlen的长度最好相等，iconv会转换所有outlen长度的内容，如果inlen长度不够，可能会造成访问越界的问题。
2）当ASCII转到GBK时，ASCII字符占一位，中文等的书字符占两位；
3）当ASCII转到UTF16BE时，ASCII字符占两位，前补零，所以UTF16BE格式不能用strlen取长度或用%s的printf。
4）当GBK或UTF16BE转到ASCII时，非ASCII字符会被丢弃。
遗留问题：
1）iconv的结果常常是失败，errno：84，表示某些字符无法转换的error。可取出来看outbuf，其实内容都已经转换了，此时inlen和outlen的位置都为负数，无法表示转换到了哪个字符。
【解决】inleft和outleft一定要用类型size_t， 不能用int，否则会报错84，并且会将buf后面的内存段也写乱了。切忌。
【原因】size_t在64位系统上是8字节，而在32位系统上是4字节，int为4字节。这样导致取地址的时候越界。
size_t定义如下：
#ifndef __SIZE_TYPE__ #define __SIZE_TYPE__ long unsigned int #endif #if !(defined (__GNUG__) && defined (size_t)) typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t; #ifdef __BEOS__ typedef long ssize_t;
示例代码：
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <iconv.h>
#include <errno.h>
#define MIN(a,b) ((a)>(b)?(b):(a))
