NAME

       iconv_close - codeset conversion deallocation function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <iconv.h>

       int iconv_close(iconv_t cd);

DESCRIPTION

       The iconv_close() function shall deallocate the conversion descriptor cd and all other associated resources allocated by iconv_open().

       If a file descriptor is used to implement the type iconv_t, that file descriptor shall be closed.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned; otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.
