Package COM.INFORMATIMAGO.CLEXT.CHARACTER-SETS

This package exports functions to manage character-sets,
character encodings, coding systems and external format.
It's all the same, but everyone likes to have his own terms...

(character-set-for-lisp-encoding encoding)

function

ENCODING:  An implementation specific object representing an encoding.
           possibly with line-termination.
RETURN:    The character-set that correspond to this emacs-encoding ;
           the line-termination.

(character-set-from-emacs-encoding ecs)

function

ECS:    A string or symbol naming the emacs encoding,
        possibly suffixed by a line-termination.
RETURN: The character-set that correspond to this emacs-encoding ;
        the line-termination.

(character-set-to-emacs-encoding cs &key line-termination)

function

RETURN: A string naming the emacs encoding for the given character-set
        and line-termination.
SIGNAL: An error if line-termination is not (member :unix :mac :dos nil) or
        if cs has no emacs encoding.

(character-set-to-lisp-encoding cs &key line-termination)

function

RETURN: An implementation specific object representing the  encoding for
        the given character-set and line-termination.
SIGNAL: An error if line-termination is not (member :unix :mac :dos nil) or
        if cs has no emacs encoding.

(emacs-encoding-to-lisp-external-format emacs-encoding)

function

RETURN:  the external-format value corresponding to this EMACS-ENCODING.
