convertToString
bool convertToString(

rtl_TextEncoding nEncoding,
sal_uInt32 nFlags ) const;

virtual abstract const volatile template static inline C-linkage
NO NO YES NO NO NO YES NO

Summary
Converts to an OString, signalling failure.
Parameters
pTarget
      An out parameter receiving the converted OString.  Must not be null; the
      contents are not modified if conversion fails (convertToOString returns
      false).

      
nEncoding
      The text encoding to convert into.  Must be an octet encoding (i.e.,
      rtl_isOctetTextEncoding(nEncoding) must return true).

      
nFlags
      A combination of RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS that detail how to do the
      conversion (see rtl_convertUnicodeToText).  RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS_FLUSH
      need not be included, it is implicitly assumed.  Typical uses are either
      RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS_UNDEFINED_ERROR |

      be converted to the target nEncoding) or OUSTRING_TO_OSTRING_CVTFLAGS

Return
True if the conversion succeeded, false otherwise.

iterateCodePoints
sal_uInt32 iterateCodePoints(
sal_Int32 * indexUtf16,
sal_Int32 incrementCodePoints = 1 ) const;

virtual abstract const volatile template static inline C-linkage
NO NO YES NO NO NO YES NO

Summary
Iterate through this string based on code points instead of UTF-16 code units.
Description
See Chapter 3 of The Unicode Standard 5.0 (Addison--Wesley, 2006) for definitions of the various terms used in this description. This string is interpreted as a sequence of zero or more UTF-16 code units. For each index into this sequence (from zero to one less than the length of the sequence, inclusive), a code point represented starting at the given index is computed as follows: - If the UTF-16 code unit addressed by the index constitutes a well-formed UTF-16 code unit sequence, the computed code point is the scalar value encoded by that UTF-16 code unit sequence. - Otherwise, if the index is at least two UTF-16 code units away from the end of the sequence, and the sequence of two UTF-16 code units addressed by the index constitutes a well-formed UTF-16 code unit sequence, the computed code point is the scalar value encoded by that UTF-16 code unit sequence. - Otherwise, the computed code point is the UTF-16 code unit addressed by the index. (This last case catches unmatched surrogates as well as indices pointing into the middle of surrogate pairs.)
Parameters
indexUtf16
pointer to a UTF-16 based index into this string; must not be null.  On
entry, the index must be in the range from zero to the length of this
string (in UTF-16 code units), inclusive.  Upon successful return, the
index will be updated to address the UTF-16 code unit that is the given
incrementCodePoints away from the initial index.

incrementCodePoints
the number of code points to move the given *indexUtf16.  If
non-negative, moving is done after determining the code point at the
index.  If negative, moving is done before determining the code point
at the (then updated) index.  The value must be such that the resulting
UTF-16 based index is in the range from zero to the length of this
string (in UTF-16 code units), inclusive.

Return
the code point (an integer in the range from 0 to 0x10FFFF, inclusive) that is represented within this string starting at the index computed as follows: If incrementCodePoints is non-negative, the index is the initial value of *indexUtf16; if incrementCodePoints is negative, the index is the updated value of *indexUtf16. In either case, the computed index must be in the range from zero to one less than the length of this string (in UTF-16 code units), inclusive.
