nsIConverterOutputStream

This interface allows writing strings to a stream, doing automatic
character encoding conversion.

Methods

init(aOutStream, aCharset, aBufferSize, aReplacementCharacter)

Initialize this stream. Must be called before any other method on this
interface, or you will crash. The output stream passed to this method
must not be null, or you will crash.

   A value of 0x0000 will cause an exception to be thrown upon  
   attempts to write unsupported characters.  

Parameters

aOutStream The underlying output stream to which the converted strings will be written.
aCharset The character set to use for encoding the characters. A null charset will be interpreted as UTF-8.
aBufferSize How many bytes to buffer. A value of 0 means that no bytes will be buffered. Implementations not supporting buffering may ignore this parameter.
aReplacementCharacter The replacement character to use when an unsupported character is found. The character must be encodable in the selected character encoding; otherwise, attempts to write an unsupported character will throw NS_ERROR_LOSS_OF_SIGNIFICANT_DATA.
