56.Sh DESCRIPTION
57The
58.Nm kiconv
59library provides multi-byte character conversion tables for kernel side
60iconv service.
61.Pp
62The
63.Fn kiconv_add_xlat16_cspair
64function
65defines a conversion table using
66.Xr iconv 3
67between
68.Fa fromcode
69charset and
70.Fa tocode
71charset.
72You can specify
73.Fa flag
74to determine if
75.Xr tolower 3
76/
77.Xr toupper 3
78conversion is included in the table.
79The
80.Fa flag
81has following values.
82.Pp
83.Bl -tag -width ".Dv KICONV_FROM_LOWER" -compact
84.It Dv KICONV_LOWER
85.It Dv KICONV_FROM_LOWER
86It generates a tolower table in addition to a character conversion table.
87The difference between two is tolower
88.Fa tocode
89or tolower
90.Fa fromcode .
91.It Dv KICONV_UPPER
92.It Dv KICONV_FROM_UPPER
93It generates a toupper table in addition to a character conversion table.
94The difference between two is toupper
95.Fa tocode
96or toupper
97.Fa fromcode .
98.El
99.Pp
100A tolower/toupper conversion is limited to single-byte characters.
101.Pp
102The
103.Fn kiconv_add_xlat16_cspairs
104function
105defines two conversion tables which are from
106.Fa localcode
107to
108.Fa foreigncode
109and from
110.Fa foreigncode
111to
112.Fa localcode .
113These conversion tables also contain both tolower and toupper tables.
114.Pp
115The
116.Fn kiconv_add_xlat16_table
117function
118defines a conversion table directly pointed by
119.Fa data
120whose length is
121.Fa datalen ,
122not using
123.Xr iconv 3 .
