checkUTF8: Check the validity of a byte stream ot be interpreted as...

In base64enc: Tools for base64 encoding

Description

checkUTF8 check whether a given raw vector can be used as a valid string encoded in UTF8.

Usage

checkUTF8(what, quiet = FALSE,	charlen = FALSE, min.char = 1L)

Arguments

what	raw vector with the payload
quiet	logical, if TRUE then the function will not fail but report success/failure via its result, otherwise failures are considered errors.
charlen	logical, if TRUE then the function returns the length of the longest byte sequence representing a character in the file.
min.char	integer, any bytes below this value are considered control chacters and reported as errors. The default value of 1L guards against strings including NULs.

Value

If charlen=FALSE: TRUE on success, FALSE if the payload is invalid and quite=TRUE.

If charlen=TRUE: positive integer corresponding to the longest encoded sequence on success, negative integer on failure.
