do_uconvert(3alleg4) Allegro manual do_uconvert(3alleg4)NAME
do_uconvert - Converts a string to another encoding format. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
void do_uconvert(const char *s, int type, char *buf, int newtype, int size);
DESCRIPTION
Converts the specified string `s' from `type' to `newtype', storing at most `size' bytes into the output `buf'. The type parameters can use
the value U_CURRENT as a shortcut to represent the currently selected encoding format. Example:
char temp_string[256];
do_uconvert(input_string, U_CURRENT, temp_string, U_ASCII, 256);
Note that, even for empty strings, your destination string must have at least enough bytes to store the terminating null character of the
string, and your parameter `size' must reflect this. Otherwise, the debug version of Allegro will abort at an assertion, and the release
version of Allegro will overrun the destination buffer.

uconvert - High level string encoding conversion wrapper. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
char *uconvert(const char *s, int type, char *buf, int newtype, int size);
DESCRIPTION
Higher level function running on top of do_uconvert(). This function converts the specified string `s' from `type' to `newtype', storing at
most `size' bytes into the output `buf' (including the terminating null character), but it checks before doing the conversion, and doesn't
bother if the string formats are already the same (either both types are equal, or one is ASCII, the other is UTF-8, and the string con-
tains only 7-bit ASCII characters).
As a convenience, if `buf' is NULL it will convert the string into an internal static buffer and the `size' parameter will be ignored. You
should be wary of using this feature, though, because that buffer will be overwritten the next time this routine is called, so don't expect
the data to persist across any other library calls. The static buffer may hold less than 1024 characters, so you won't be able to convert
large chunks of text. Example:
char *p = uconvert(input_string, U_CURRENT, buffer, U_ASCII, 256);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to `buf' (or the static buffer if you used NULL) if a conversion was performed. Otherwise returns a copy of `s'. In any
cases, you should use the return value rather than assuming that the string will always be moved to `buf'.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).
