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.
