function

Library: Shift JIS (OMFFSJIS)
Import : omffsjis.xmd

Declaration 
export external string sink function writer
                    into value string sink output-data


Purpose

Use writer to accept UTF-8 encoded data and write that data to a value string sink, its argument, converted from a UTF-8 encoding to a Shift-JIS encoding. That is, the program writes UTF-8, but the provided output receives Shift-JIS.

Usage Note

To use omffsjis, you must import it into your program using a statement like this: 

    import "omffsjis.xmd" prefixed by sjis.

Example


  ; Write a Shift-JIS-encoded file named by the first command-line
  ; argument using the stream named "output-file".  Convert
  ; the data from UTF-8 to Shift-JIS prior to writing it to the file.
  import "omffsjis.xmd" prefixed by sjis.
  process
     local stream output-file
     open output-file as sjis.writer into file #args [1]
