NAME
       uconvert_size - Number of bytes needed to store a string after conversion. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       int uconvert_size(const char *s, int type, int newtype);

DESCRIPTION
       Finds  out  how many bytes are required to store the specified string `s' after a conversion from `type' to `newtype', including the manda-
       tory zero terminator of the string. You can use U_CURRENT for either `type' or `newtype' as a shortcut to represent whatever text  encoding
       format is currently selected. Example:

	  length = uconvert_size(old_string, U_CURRENT, U_UNICODE);
	  new_string = malloc(length);
	  ustrcpy(new_string, old_string);

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the number of bytes required to store the string after conversion.
