NAME

Encode::ISO2022 - ISO/IEC 2022 character encoding scheme

SYNOPSIS

  package FooEncoding;
  use Encode::ISO2022;
  our @ISA = qw(Encode::ISO2022);
  
  $Encode::Encoding{'foo-encoding'} = bless {
    Name => 'foo-encoding',
    CCS => [ {...CCS #1...}, {...CCS #2...}, ....]
  } => __PACKAGE__;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a character encoding scheme (CES) switching a set of multiple coded character sets (CCS).

Instances of Encode::ISO2022 have following hash items.

Name => STRING

The name of this encoding as Encode::Encoding object.

CCS => [ FEATURE, FEATURE, ...]

List of features defining CCSs used by this encoding. Each item is a hash reference containing following items.

bytes => NUMBER

Number of bytes to represent each character. Default is 1.

dec_only => BOOLEAN

If true value is set, this CCS will be used only for decoding.

encoding => ENCODING

Encode::Encoding object used as CCS. Mandatory.

Encodings used for CCS must provide "raw" conversion. Namely, they must be stateless and fixed-length conversion over 94^n or 96^n code tables. Encode::ISO2022::CCS lists available CCSs.

gr => BOOLEAN

If true value is set, each character will be invoked to GR.

g => STRING

g_init => STRING

Working set this CCS may be designated to: 'g0', 'g1', 'g2' or 'g3'.

If g_init is set, this CCS will be designated at beginning of coversion implicitly, and at end of conversion explicitly.

If g or g_init is set and neither of ls nor ss is not set, this CCS will be invoked when it is designated.

If neither of g, g_init, ls nor ss is set, this CCS is invoked always.

g_seq => STRING

Escape sequence to designate this CCS, if it can be designated explicitly.

ls => STRING

ss => STRING

Escape sequence or control character to invoke this CCS, if it should be invoked explicitly.

If ss is set, this CCS will be invoked for only one character.

LineInit => BOOLEAN

If it is true, designation and invokation states will be initialized at beginning of lines.

SubChar => STRING

Unicode string to be used for substitution character.

To know more about use of this module, the source of Encode::ISO2022JP2 may be an example.
