GLib.utf16_to_ucs4

function utf16_to_ucs4(str: Number(guint16), len: Number(glong), items_read: Number(glong), items_written: Number(glong)): String {
    // Gjs wrapper for g_utf16_to_ucs4()
}
  

Convert a string from UTF-16 to UCS-4. The result will be nul-terminated.

str

a UTF-16 encoded string

len

the maximum length (number of #gunichar2) of str to use. If len < 0, then the string is nul-terminated.

items_read

location to store number of words read, or null. If null, then GLib.ConvertError.partial_input will be returned in case str contains a trailing partial character. If an error occurs then the index of the invalid input is stored here.

items_written

location to store number of characters written, or null. The value stored here does not include the trailing 0 character.

Returns

a pointer to a newly allocated UCS-4 string. This value must be freed with GLib.free. If an error occurs, null will be returned and @error set.
