Add the BSD-licensed Citrus iconv to the base system with default off
setting. It can be built by setting the WITH_ICONV knob. While this knob is unset, the library part, the binaries, the header file and the metadata files will not be built or installed so it makes no impact on the system if left turned off. This work is based on the iconv implementation in NetBSD but a great number of improvements and feature additions have been included: - Some utilities have been added. There is a conversion table generator, which can compare conversion tables to reference data generated by GNU libiconv. This helps ensuring conversion compatibility. - UTF-16 surrogate support and some endianness issues have been fixed. - The rather chaotic Makefiles to build metadata have been refactored and cleaned up, now it is easy to read and it is also easier to add support for new encodings. - A bunch of new encodings and encoding aliases have been added. - Support for 1->2, 1->3 and 1->4 mappings, which is needed for transliterating with flying accents as GNU does, like "u. - Lots of warnings have been fixed, the major part of the code is now WARNS=6 clean. - New section 1 and section 5 manual pages have been added. - Some GNU-specific calls have been implemented: iconvlist(), iconvctl(), iconv_canonicalize(), iconv_open_into() - Support for GNU's //IGNORE suffix has been added. - The "-" argument for stdin is now recognized in iconv(1) as per POSIX. - The Big5 conversion module has been fixed. - The iconv.h header files is supposed to be compatible with the GNU version, i.e. sources should build with base iconv.h and GNU libiconv. It also includes a macro magic to deal with the char ** and const char ** incompatibility. - GNU compatibility: "" or "char" means the current local encoding in use - Various cleanups and style(9) fixes.

+.Dt ICONVCTL 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm iconvctl
+.Nd controlling and diagnostical facility for
+.Xr iconv 3
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In iconv.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn iconvctl "iconv_t cd" "int request" "void *argument"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn iconvctl
+function can retrieve or set specific conversion
+setting from the
+.Fa cd
+conversion descriptor.
+The
+.Fa request
+parameter specifies the operation to accomplish and
+.Fa argument
+is an operation-specific argument.
+.Pp
+The possible operations are the following:
+.Bl -tag -width -indent
+.It ICONV_TRIVIALP
+In this case
+.Fa argument
+is an
+.Ft int *
+variable, which is set to 1 if the encoding is trivial one, i.e.
+the input and output encodings are the same.
+Otherwise, the variable will be 0.
+.It ICONV_GET_TRANSLITERATE
+Determines if transliteration is enabled.
+The answer is stored in
+.Fa argument ,
+which is of
+.Ft int * .
+It will be set to 1 if this feature is enabled or set to 0 otherwise.
+.It ICONV_SET_TRANSLITERATE
+Enables transliteration if
+.Fa argument ,
+which is of
+.Ft int *
+set to 1 or disables it if
+.Fa argument
+is set to 0.
+.It ICONV_GET_DISCARD_ILSEQ
+Determines if illegal sequences are discarded or not.
+The answer is stored in
+.Fa argument ,
+which is of
+.Ft int * .
+It will be set to 1 if this feature is enabled or set to 0 otherwise.
+.It ICONV_SET_DISCARD_ILSEQ
+Sets whether illegal sequences are discarded or not.
+.Fa argument ,
+which is of
+.Ft int *
+set to 1 or disables it if
+.Fa argument
+is set to 0.
+.It ICONV_SET_HOOKS
+Sets callback functions, which will be called back after successful
+conversions.
+The callback functions are stored in a
+.Ft struct iconv_hooks
+variable, which is passed to
+.Nm
+via
+.Fa argument
+by its address.
+.\" XXX: fallbacks are unimplemented and trying to set them will always
+.\" return EOPNOTSUPP but definitions are provided for source-level
+.\" compatibility.
+.\".It ICONV_SET_FALLBACKS
+.\"Sets callback functions, which will be called back after failed
+.\"conversions.
+.\"The callback functions are stored in a
+.\".Ft struct iconv_fallbacks
+.\"variable, which is passed to
+.\".Nm
+.\"via
+.\".Fa argument
+.\"by its address.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion
+.Fn iconvctl ,
+returns 0.
+Otherwise, \-1 is returned and errno is set to
+specify the kind of error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn iconvctl
+function may cause an error in the following cases:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+Unknown or unimplemented operation.
+.It Bq Er EBADF
+The conversion descriptor specified by
+.Fa cd
+is invalid.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr iconv 1 ,
+.Xr iconv 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nm
+facility is a non-standard extension, which appeared in
+the GNU implementation and was adopted in
+.Fx 9
+for compatibility's sake.
+.Sh BUGS
+Transliteration is enabled in this implementation by default, so it
+is impossible by design to turn it off.
+Accordingly, trying to turn it off will always fail and \-1 will be
+returned.
+Getting the transliteration state will always succeed and indicate
+that it is turned on, though.
