65 * @title: Character Set Conversion
66 * @short_description: convert strings between different character sets
68 * The g_convert() family of function wraps the functionality of iconv().
69 * In addition to pure character set conversions, GLib has functions to
70 * deal with the extra complications of encodings for file names.
72 * ## File Name Encodings
74 * Historically, UNIX has not had a defined encoding for file names:
75 * a file name is valid as long as it does not have path separators
76 * in it ("/"). However, displaying file names may require conversion:
77 * from the character set in which they were created, to the character
78 * set in which the application operates. Consider the Spanish file name
79 * "Presentación.sxi". If the application which created it uses
80 * ISO-8859-1 for its encoding,
82 * Character: P r e s e n t a c i ó n . s x i
83 * Hex code: 50 72 65 73 65 6e 74 61 63 69 f3 6e 2e 73 78 69
85 * However, if the application use UTF-8, the actual file name on
86 * disk would look like this:
88 * Character: P r e s e n t a c i ó n . s x i
89 * Hex code: 50 72 65 73 65 6e 74 61 63 69 c3 b3 6e 2e 73 78 69
91 * Glib uses UTF-8 for its strings, and GUI toolkits like GTK+ that use
92 * Glib do the same thing. If you get a file name from the file system,
93 * for example, from readdir() or from g_dir_read_name(), and you wish
94 * to display the file name to the user, you will need to convert it
95 * into UTF-8. The opposite case is when the user types the name of a
96 * file he wishes to save: the toolkit will give you that string in
97 * UTF-8 encoding, and you will need to convert it to the character
98 * set used for file names before you can create the file with open()
101 * By default, Glib assumes that file names on disk are in UTF-8
102 * encoding. This is a valid assumption for file systems which
103 * were created relatively recently: most applications use UTF-8
104 * encoding for their strings, and that is also what they use for
105 * the file names they create. However, older file systems may
106 * still contain file names created in "older" encodings, such as
107 * ISO-8859-1. In this case, for compatibility reasons, you may want
108 * to instruct Glib to use that particular encoding for file names
109 * rather than UTF-8. You can do this by specifying the encoding for
110 * file names in the [`G_FILENAME_ENCODING`][G_FILENAME_ENCODING]
111 * environment variable. For example, if your installation uses
112 * ISO-8859-1 for file names, you can put this in your `~/.profile`
114 * export G_FILENAME_ENCODING=ISO-8859-1
116 * Glib provides the functions g_filename_to_utf8() and
117 * g_filename_from_utf8() to perform the necessary conversions.
118 * These functions convert file names from the encoding specified
119 * in `G_FILENAME_ENCODING` to UTF-8 and vice-versa. This
120 * [diagram][file-name-encodings-diagram] illustrates how
121 * these functions are used to convert between UTF-8 and the
122 * encoding for file names in the file system.
124 * ## Conversion between file name encodings # {#file-name-encodings-diagram)
126 * ![](file-name-encodings.png)
128 * ## Checklist for Application Writers
130 * This section is a practical summary of the detailed
132 * things to do to make sure your applications process file
133 * name encodings correctly.
135 * 1. If you get a file name from the file system from a function
136 * such as readdir() or gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(), you do
137 * not need to do any conversion to pass that file name to
138 * functions like open(), rename(), or fopen() -- those are "raw"
139 * file names which the file system understands.
141 * 2. If you need to display a file name, convert it to UTF-8 first
142 * by using g_filename_to_utf8(). If conversion fails, display a
143 * string like "Unknown file name". Do not convert this string back
144 * into the encoding used for file names if you wish to pass it to
145 * the file system; use the original file name instead.
147 * For example, the document window of a word processor could display
148 * "Unknown file name" in its title bar but still let the user save
149 * the file, as it would keep the raw file name internally. This
150 * can happen if the user has not set the `G_FILENAME_ENCODING`
151 * environment variable even though he has files whose names are
152 * not encoded in UTF-8.
154 * 3. If your user interface lets the user type a file name for saving
155 * or renaming, convert it to the encoding used for file names in
156 * the file system by using g_filename_from_utf8(). Pass the converted
157 * file name to functions like fopen(). If conversion fails, ask the
158 * user to enter a different file name. This can happen if the user
159 * types Japanese characters when `G_FILENAME_ENCODING` is set to
160 * `ISO-8859-1`, for example.
