CharacterSet.filenameToUtf8

Converts a string which is in the encoding used by GLib for filenames into a UTF-8 string. Note that on Windows GLib uses UTF-8 for filenames; on other platforms, this function indirectly depends on the [current locale]setlocale.

Parameters

opsysstring string

a string in the encoding for filenames

len ptrdiff_t

the length of the string, or -1 if the string is nul-terminated (Note that some encodings may allow nul bytes to occur inside strings. In that case, using -1 for the @len parameter is unsafe)

bytesRead size_t

location to store the number of bytes in the input string that were successfully converted, or %NULL. Even if the conversion was successful, this may be less than @len if there were partial characters at the end of the input. If the error #G_CONVERT_ERROR_ILLEGAL_SEQUENCE occurs, the value stored will the byte offset after the last valid input sequence.

bytesWritten size_t

the number of bytes stored in the output buffer (not including the terminating nul).

Return: The converted string, or %NULL on an error.

Throws

GException on failure.
