Function encoding_c::encoding_for_name

#[no_mangle]
pub unsafe extern fn encoding_for_name(name: *const u8,
                                       name_len: usize)
                                       -> *const Encoding

If the argument matches exactly (case-sensitively; no whitespace removal performed) the name of an encoding, returns const Encoding* representing that encoding. Otherwise panics.

The motivating use case for this function is interoperability with legacy Gecko code that represents encodings as name string instead of type-safe Encoding objects. Using this function for other purposes is most likely the wrong thing to do.

Panics

Panics if the argument is not the name of an encoding.

Undefined behavior

UB ensues if name and name_len don't designate a valid memory block.
