\fIconverter\fP, \fBMText\fP *
\fImt\fP)


.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Read a line using a code converter\&. The
.ft B
mconv_gets()
.ft R
function reads one line from the buffer area or the stream that is currently bound to code converter
.ft B
converter\fP\&. The decoder of
.ft B
converter
.ft R
is used for decoding\&. The decoded character sequence is appended at the end of M\-text
.ft B
mt\fP\&. The final newline character in the original byte sequence is not appended\&. The internal status of
.ft B
converter
.ft R
is updated appropriately\&.
.PP
.SH RETURN VALUE
.PP
.RS 4
If the operation was successful,
.ft B
mconv_gets()
.ft R
returns the modified
.ft B
mt\fP\&. If it encounters EOF without reading a single character, it returns
.ft B
mt
.ft R
without changing it\&. If an error is detected, it returns
.ft C
NULL
.ft R
and assigns an error code to
.ft B
merror_code\fP\&.
