NAME
       jconv8 - code conversion STREAMS module (8-bit JIS/Japanese EUC)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>

       #include <sys/stropt.h>

       #include <sys/conf.h>

       ioctl(fd, I_PUSH, "jconv8");

DESCRIPTION
       jconv8  is a STREAMS module that is available to be pushed onto a stream. Usually, this module has to be pushed onto a stream between a raw
       device such as ptem(7M) and terminal line discipline module such as ldterm(7M).

       jconv8 has to be pushed when you set 8-bit JIS terminal and control Japanese EUC data. It converts up stream for 8-bit JIS code into  Japa-
       nese EUC and passes high module. It also converts down stream for Japanese EUC into 8-bit JIS code and passes low module.

IOCTLS
       jconv8 processes the following ioctls. JA_SKIOC and  JA_GKIOC are specified pointer to the next structure as argument:

	      struct kioc {
		      char ki;
		      char ko;
	      };

       JA_SKIOC        Change the 3rd character of JIS kanji and  ASCII indication escape sequence.

       JA_GKIOC        Return the 3rd character of current JIS kanji and  ASCII indication escape sequence.

       EUC_OXLON       Start performing code conversion between 8-bit JIS and Japanese EUC for	I/O stream.

       EUC_OXLOFF      Stop performing code conversion between 8-bit JIS and Japanese EUC for  I/O stream.

NOTES
       When  you use jconv8 with jconvrs(7M) or jconvru(7M) at once and `raw' is specified by  stty(1), code convert function automatically become
       off without specification by  EUC_OXLON / EUC_OXLOFF. By default, character set indication escape sequences as follows. The  end  character
       may be changed by JA_SKIOC.

	 o  ASCII indication: ESC 2/8 4/10

	 o  Character indication: ESC 2/4 4/2

	 o  Convert with JIS X 0201 Kana: LS1/LS0

       jconv8 does not support Kanji code for Information Interchange (secondary kanji set) provided by JIS X 0212-1990.

       When jconv8 is in use, csh(1) does not work properly for filename additional function.
