NAME

  codecvt_byname - A facet that provides code set converion classification
  facilities based on the named locales.

SYNOPSIS

  #include <locale>
  template <class charT> class codecvt_byname;

DESCRIPTION

  The codecvt_byname  template provides the same functionality as the codecvt
  template, but specific to a particular named locale.  For a description of
  the member functions of codecvt_byname, see the reference for codecvt.
  Only the constructor is described here.

INTERFACE

  template <class fromT, class toT, class stateT>
  class codecvt_byname : public codecvt<fromT, toT, stateT> {
  public:
   explicit codecvt_byname(const char*, size_t refs = 0);
  protected:
    ~codecvt_byname();  // virtual
   virtual result do_out(stateT&,
                         const internT*,
                         const internT*,
                         const internT*&,
                         externT*, externT*,
                         externT*&) const;
   virtual result do_in(stateT&,
                        const externT*,
                        const externT*,
                        const externT*&,
                        internT*, internT*,
                        internT*&) const;

   virtual bool do_always_noconv() const throw();
   virtual int do_length(const stateT&, const internT*,
                         const internT*,
   virtual int do_max_length() const throw();
   virtual int do_encoding() const throw();
  };

CONSTRUCTOR

  explicit codecvt_byname(const char* name, size_t refs = 0);
     Construct a codecvt_byname facet.  The facet will provide codeset
     conversion relative to the named locale specified by the name argument.
     If the refs argument is 0, destruction of the object is delegated to the
     locale, or locales, containing it. This allows the user to ignore
     lifetime management issues.  On the other had, if refs  is 1, the object
     must be explicitly deleted:  the locale will not do so.  In this case,
     the object can be maintained across the lifetime of multiple locales.
