Programming With the Text Encoding Conversion Manager

InitializeUnicodeConverter

Initializes the 68K static library version of the Unicode Converter.

pascal OSStatus InitializeUnicodeConverter (StringPtr TECFileName);

TECFileName: Text Encoding Conversion Manager extension file name. You may pass NULL for this parameter or you can pass the extension file name, which improves performance of the function. After you call InitializeUnicodeConverter, you can obtain the extension name for subsequent calls to InitializeUnicodeConverter using the function TECGetInfo.
function result: A result code. See Text Encoding Conversion Manager Result Codes in the chapter Basic Text Types Reference

DISCUSSION

You may call InitializeUnicodeConverter more than once. The function checks whether the converter has already been initialized, and if so, completes execution successfully.
