+charsetForName:

-codeForCharacter:

-initWithCodeCharTable: length:

-initWithCodeCharTable:length:

-name

+ (NSDictionary *) allCharsets; 

Return Value

The dictionary of all supported character sets.

Discussion

This method is used to obtain a dictionary of all supported charsets by Pantomime. The keys are the name of the charsets (NSString instances) and the values are a description of the charset (NSString instances).

- (BOOL) characterIsInCharset: (unichar) theCharacter; 

Parameters

Return Value

YES if it is present, NO otherwise.

Discussion

This method is used to verify if theCharacter is present in the receiver.

+ (CWCharset *) charsetForName: (NSString *) theName; 

Parameters

Return Value

The CWCharset instance. If a non-supported name was specified, an instance of CWISO8859_1 is returned.

Discussion

This method is used to obtain a CWCharset subclass instance from the Internet name of a charset.

- (int) codeForCharacter: (unichar) theCharacter; 

Parameters

Return Value

The code from the code table.

Discussion

This method is used to obtain the right code from a Unicode character, in the code table.

- (id) initWithCodeCharTable: (const struct charset_code *) codes 
        length: (int) num_codes; 

Parameters

Discussion

This method is used to initialize a CWCharset instance based on the charset code table. You should never call this initializer directly. You should rather invoke directly -init on CWCharset's subclasses.

Parameters

- (NSString *) name; 

Return Value

The Internet name of the charset.

Discussion

This method is used to get the name of the receiver. Values returned are like "iso-8859-1", "koi8-r" and so on.
