+ * @brief Character-set conversion routines built on our iconv.
+ *
+ * @note Samba's internal character set (at least in the 3.0 series)
+ * is always the same as the one for the Unix filesystem. It is
+ * <b>not</b> necessarily UTF-8 and may be different on machines that
+ * need i18n filenames to be compatible with Unix software. It does
+ * have to be a superset of ASCII. All multibyte sequences must start
+ * with a byte with the high bit set.
