Bug#37012: gconv-modules: iconv fails if it cannot map between charsets
[Jeff Bailey]
> Please provide a testcase to show that this bug still occurs.
The problem still exists:
The letter ø (Octal 370) is not a valid UTF-8 sequence:
% echo -e 'hei \370 foo' | /usr/bin/iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1//TRANSLIT
hei /usr/bin/iconv: illegal input sequence at position 4
%
As you can see, iconv stops after printing 'hei ', and never prints '
foo'.
And the //TRANSLIT options is not mentioned when I use 'iconv --help',
and the manual page is just as silent about the posibility.
