NAME
       mconv_encode_buffer - Encode an M-text into a buffer area.

SYNOPSIS
       int mconv_encode_buffer (MSymbol name, MText * mt, unsigned char * buf, int n)

DESCRIPTION
       Encode an M-text into a buffer area. The mconv_encode_buffer() function encodes M-text mt based on coding system name and writes the
       resulting byte sequence into the buffer area pointed to by buf.	At most n bytes are written. A temporary code converter for encoding is
       automatically created and freed.

RETURN VALUE
	   If the operation was successful, mconv_encode_buffer() returns the number of written bytes. Otherwise it returns -1 and assigns an
	   error code to the external variable merror_code.

ERRORS
	   MERROR_IO, MERROR_CODING
