NAME
     ceuctoibmj - convert a character from EUC to IBM host code

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag...] file... -lkanji [library...]

     #include <mlx-j/kanji.h>

     unsigned char *ceuctoibmj(unsigned char *dest, unsigned char *src);

DESCRIPTION
     ceuctoibmj converts a Japanese EUC codeset 1  or  codeset 2  character
     into  IBM Japanese (Katakana) Kanji Mixed Host Code (IBM CCSID's 13218
     and 09122).

     src points at the EUC character to be converted, dest  points  at  the
     buffer  to receive the result. The destination buffer must be at least
     three bytes long.

     If the source buffer  contains  a  codeset 1  (kanji)  character,  the
     destination  buffer  is filled with the corresponding 2-byte host code
     character. If  the  source  buffer  contains  a  codeset 2  (half-size
     katakana)  character,  the first byte of the destination buffer is set
     to the corresponding  host  code  byte  value.  In  either  case,  the
     destination buffer is null-terminated.

RETURN VALUE
     Successful conversion returns a value of dest. If  the  source  buffer
     does  not  contain a valid EUC codeset 1 or codeset 2 character, or if
     it contains a kanji character which does not exist in IBM  host  code,
     the return value is NULL.

NOTES
     The length of the result can be determined  by  examining  the  second
     byte. If it is zero, the result is a single-byte half-size kana, if it
     is non-zero, the result is a two-byte kanji.
