Input and output streams

Character data that contains Asian characters must be correctly processed in all I/O for a graphical user interface, clipboard, character terminal, file, and network.

The following functions process input and output multibyte character streams:
  • The ifx_gl_getmb() function calls a function that you define to obtain the bytes that form one multibyte character from a specified location.
  • The ifx_gl_putmb() function calls a function that you define to put the bytes that form one multibyte character in a specified location.
