* \brief C UConverter functions to aid the writers of callbacks
*
* <h2> Callback API for UConverter </h2>
*
* These functions are provided here for the convenience of the callback
* writer. If you are just looking for callback functions to use, please
* see ucnv_err.h. DO NOT call these functions directly when you are
* working with converters, unless your code has been called as a callback
* via ucnv_setFromUCallback or ucnv_setToUCallback !!
*
* A note about error codes and overflow. Unlike other ICU functions,
* these functions do not expect the error status to be U_ZERO_ERROR.
* Callbacks must be much more careful about their error codes.
* The error codes used here are in/out parameters, which should be passed
* back in the callback's error parameter.
*
* For example, if you call ucnv_cbfromUWriteBytes to write data out
* to the output codepage, it may return U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR if
* the data did not fit in the target. But this isn't a failing error,
* in fact, ucnv_cbfromUWriteBytes may be called AGAIN with the error
* status still U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR to attempt to write further bytes,
* which will also go into the internal overflow buffers.
*
* Concerning offsets, the 'offset' parameters here are relative to the start
* of SOURCE. For example, Suppose the string "ABCD" was being converted
* from Unicode into a codepage which doesn't have a mapping for 'B'.
* 'A' will be written out correctly, but
* The FromU Callback will be called on an unassigned character for 'B'.
* At this point, this is the state of the world:
* Target: A [..] [points after A]
* Source: A B [C] D [points to C - B has been consumed]
* 0 1 2 3
* codePoint = "B" [the unassigned codepoint]
*
* Now, suppose a callback wants to write the substitution character '?' to
* the target. It calls ucnv_cbFromUWriteBytes() to write the ?.
* It should pass ZERO as the offset, because the offset as far as the
* callback is concerned is relative to the SOURCE pointer [which points
* before 'C'.] If the callback goes into the args and consumes 'C' also,
* it would call FromUWriteBytes with an offset of 1 (and advance the source
* pointer).
