Detailed Description

The QTextDecoder class provides a state-based decoder.

A text decoder converts text from an encoded text format into Unicode using a specific codec.

The decoder converts text in this format into Unicode, remembering any state that is required between calls.

See also QTextCodec::makeDecoder() and QTextEncoder.

Member Function Documentation

QTextDecoder::QTextDecoder ( const QTextCodec * codec )

Constructs a text decoder for the given codec.

QTextDecoder::~QTextDecoder ()

Destroys the decoder.

QString QTextDecoder::toUnicode ( const char * chars, int len )

Converts the first len bytes in chars to Unicode, returning the result.

If not all characters are used (e.g. if only part of a multi-byte encoding is at the end of the characters), the decoder remembers enough state to continue with the next call to this function.

QString QTextDecoder::toUnicode ( const QByteArray & ba )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Converts the bytes in the byte array specified by ba to Unicode and returns the result.
