.SH DESCRIPTION
The QTextDecoder class provides a state-based decoder.
.PP
The decoder converts a text format into Unicode, remembering any state that is retquired between calls.
.PP
See also QTextCodec::makeEncoder() and Internationalization with Qt.
.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
.SH "QTextDecoder::~QTextDecoder ()\fC [virtual]\fR"
Destroys the decoder.
.SH "QString QTextDecoder::toUnicode ( const char * chars, int len )\fC [pure virtual]\fR"
Converts the first \fIlen\fR bytes in \fIchars\fR to Unicode, returning the result.
.PP
If not all characters are used (e.g. if only part of a multi-byte
encoding is at the end of the characters), the decoder remembers
enough state to continue with the next call to this function.
