+ * This C function converts an entire string from one encoding to another,
+ * using iconv. Easier to use than iconv() itself, and supports autodetect
+ * encodings on input.
+ *
+ *   int iconv_string (const char* tocode, const char* fromcode,
+ *                     const char* start, const char* end,
+ *                     char** resultp, size_t* lengthp)
+ *
+ * Converts a memory region given in encoding FROMCODE to a new memory
+ * region in encoding TOCODE. FROMCODE and TOCODE are as for iconv_open(3),
+ * except that FROMCODE may be one of the values
+ *    "autodetect_utf8"          supports ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8
+ *    "autodetect_jp"            supports EUC-JP, ISO-2022-JP-2 and SHIFT_JIS
+ *    "autodetect_kr"            supports EUC-KR and ISO-2022-KR
+ * The input is in the memory region between start (inclusive) and end
+ * (exclusive). If resultp is not NULL, the output string is stored in
+ * *resultp; malloc/realloc is used to allocate the result.
+ *
+ * This function does not treat zero characters specially.
+ *
+ * Return value: 0 if successful, otherwise -1 and errno set. Particular
+ * errno values: EILSEQ and ENOMEM.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *   const char* s = ...;
+ *   char* result = NULL;
+ *   if (iconv_string("UCS-4-INTERNAL", "autodetect_utf8",
+ *                    s, s+strlen(s)+1, &result, NULL) < 0)
+ *     perror("iconv_string");
