## Description

## Functions

### gsf_input_textline_new ()

    GsfInput *
    gsf_input_textline_new (GsfInput *source);

This adds a reference to `source`.

#### Parameters

source | in some combination of ascii and utf8 |

#### Returns

a new file.

[nullable]

### gsf_input_textline_ascii_gets ()

    unsigned char *
    gsf_input_textline_ascii_gets (GsfInputTextline *textline);

A utility routine to read things line by line from the underlying source. Trailing newlines and carriage returns are stripped, and the resultant buffer can be edited.

#### Parameters

textline | GsfInputTextline |

#### Returns

the string read, or `NULL` on eof.

[array][transfer none][nullable]

### gsf_input_textline_utf8_gets ()

    guint8 *
    gsf_input_textline_utf8_gets (GsfInputTextline *textline);

A utility routine to read things line by line from the underlying source. Trailing newlines and carriage returns are stripped, and the resultant buffer can be edited.

#### Parameters

textline | GsfInputTextline |

#### Returns

the string read, or `NULL` on eof.

### gsf_output_iconv_new ()

    GsfOutput *
    gsf_output_iconv_new (GsfOutput *sink,
                          char const *dst,
                          char const *src);

Adds a reference to `sink` .

#### Parameters

sink | The underlying data source. | [transfer none]
dst | The target character set. `NULL` for "UTF-8". | [nullable]
src | The source character set. `NULL` for "UTF-8". | [nullable]

#### Returns

a new GsfOutput object.

### gsf_output_csv_write_eol ()

    gboolean
    gsf_output_csv_write_eol (GsfOutputCsv *csv);

### gsf_output_csv_write_field ()

    gboolean
    gsf_output_csv_write_field (GsfOutputCsv *csv,
                                char const *field,
                                size_t len);

## Types and Values
