# NAME
CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION - convert data from UTF8 to host encoding
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode conv_callback(char *ptr, size_t length);
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION,
conv_callback);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
shown above.
Applies to non-ASCII platforms. curl_version_info(3) returns the
CURL_VERSION_CONV feature bit set if this option is provided.
The data to be converted is in a buffer pointed to by the *ptr* parameter.
The amount of data to convert is indicated by the *length* parameter. The
converted data overlays the input data in the buffer pointed to by the ptr
parameter. *CURLE_OK* must be returned upon successful conversion. A
CURLcode return value defined by curl.h, such as *CURLE_CONV_FAILED*,
should be returned if an error was encountered.
CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION(3) converts to host encoding from UTF8
encoding. It is required only for SSL processing.
If you set a callback pointer to NULL, or do not set it at all, the built-in
libcurl iconv functions are used. If HAVE_ICONV was not defined when libcurl
was built, and no callback has been established, the conversion returns the
CURLE_CONV_REQD error code.
If HAVE_ICONV is defined, CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST must also be defined.
For example:
~~~c
#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST "IBM-1047"
~~~
The iconv code in libcurl defaults the network and UTF8 codeset names as
follows:
~~~c
#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_NETWORK "ISO8859-1"
#define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_FOR_UTF8 "UTF-8"
~~~
You need to override these definitions if they are different on your system.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# PROTOCOLS
TLS-based protocols.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
static CURLcode my_conv_from_utf8_to_ebcdic(char *buffer, size_t length)
{
int rc = 0;
/* in-place convert 'buffer' from UTF-8 to EBCDIC */
if(rc == 0) {
/* success */
return CURLE_OK;
}
else {
return CURLE_CONV_FAILED;
}
}
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION,
my_conv_from_utf8_to_ebcdic);
}

# AVAILABILITY
Not available and deprecated since 7.82.0.
Available only if **CURL_DOES_CONVERSIONS** was defined when libcurl was
built.
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
