Description:

public string to_utf8 (long len = -1, out long items_read = null, out long items_written = null) throws ConvertError

Convert a string from a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4.

to UTF-8. The result will be terminated with a 0 byte.

Parameters:

len	the maximum length (number of characters) of `str` to use. If `len` < 0, then the string is nul-terminated.
items_read	location to store number of characters read, or null.
items_written	location to store number of bytes written or null. The value here stored does not include the trailing 0 byte.
str	a UCS-4 encoded string

Returns:

a pointer to a newly allocated UTF-8 string. This value must be freed with g_free . If an error occurs, null will be returned and throws set. In that case, items_read will be set to the position of the first invalid input character.
