*
* The source pointer is an in/out parameter. It starts out pointing where the
* conversion is to begin, and ends up pointing after the last byte of source consumed.
*
* Target similarly starts out pointer at the first available UChar in the output
* buffer, and ends up pointing after the last UChar written to the output.
* It does NOT necessarily keep UChar sequences together.
*
* The converter always attempts to consume the entire source buffer, unless
* (1.) the target buffer is full, or (2.) a failing error is returned from the
* current callback function. When a successful error status has been
* returned, it means that all of the source buffer has been
* consumed. At that point, the caller should reset the source and
* sourceLimit pointers to point to the next chunk.
*
* This is a <I>stateful</I> conversion. Additionally, even when all source data has
* been consumed, some data may be in the converters' internal state.
* Call this function repeatedly, updating the target pointers with
* the next empty chunk of target in case of a
* <TT>U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR</TT>, and updating the source pointers
* with the next chunk of source when a successful error status is
* returned, until there are no more chunks of source data.
* @param converter the Unicode converter
* @param target I/O parameter. Input : Points to the beginning of the buffer to copy
* UChars into. Output : points to after the last UChar copied.
* @param targetLimit the pointer just after the end of the <TT>target</TT> buffer
* @param source I/O parameter, pointer to pointer to the source codepage buffer.
* @param sourceLimit the pointer to the byte after the end of the source buffer
* @param offsets if NULL is passed, nothing will happen to it, otherwise it needs to have the same number
* of allocated cells as <TT>target</TT>. Will fill in offsets from target to source pointer
* e.g: <TT>offsets[3]</TT> is equal to 6, it means that the <TT>target[3]</TT> was a result of transcoding <TT>source[6]</TT>
* For output data carried across calls, and other data without a specific source character
* (such as from escape sequences or callbacks) -1 will be placed for offsets.
* @param flush set to <TT>TRUE</TT> if the current source buffer is the last available
* chunk of the source, <TT>FALSE</TT> otherwise. Note that if a failing status is returned,
* this function may have to be called multiple times wiht flush set to <TT>TRUE</TT> until
* the source buffer is consumed.
* @param err the error status. <TT>U_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT_ERROR</TT> will be set if the
* converter is <TT>NULL</TT>.
* <code>U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR</code> will be set if the target is full and there is
* still data to be written to the target.
