NAME
QTextDecoder - State-based decoder

SYNOPSIS
All the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with thread support.</p>

#include <qtextcodec.h>

  Public Members
virtual ~QTextDecoder ()
virtual QString toUnicode ( const char * chars, int len ) = 0

DESCRIPTION
The QTextDecoder class provides a state-based decoder.

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

See also QTextCodec::makeEncoder() and Internationalization with Qt.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

QTextDecoder::~QTextDecoder () [virtual]
Destroys the decoder.

QString QTextDecoder::toUnicode ( const char * chars, int len ) [pure virtual]
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.
