27DESCRIPTION

29<P>
30This function, which exists only in the 32-bit library, converts a UTF-32
31string to the correct order for the current host, taking account of any byte
32order marks (BOMs) within the string. Its arguments are:
33<pre>
34  <i>output</i>           pointer to output buffer, may be the same as <i>input</i>
35  <i>input</i>            pointer to input buffer
36  <i>length</i>           number of 32-bit units in the input, or negative for
37                     a zero-terminated string
38  <i>host_byte_order</i>  a NULL value or a non-zero value pointed to means
39                     start in host byte order
40  <i>keep_boms</i>        if non-zero, BOMs are copied to the output string
41</pre>
42The result of the function is the number of 32-bit units placed into the output
43buffer, including the zero terminator if the string was zero-terminated.
44</P>
45<P>
46If <i>host_byte_order</i> is not NULL, it is set to indicate the byte order that
47is current at the end of the string.
