RE: iconv query

I'm confused. With C, when calling a function, all argument
(parameter) passing is is by value. That's how C is defined. By
convention
many functions may pass by value a pointer to the struct, and with
arrays it
gets a little muddy as an array is really a pointer to the first
element
(though the pointer again is passed by value), but that's an
implementation
decision of the function provider, not C.

Not quite. When you pass a pointer to a variable (as you would, say, with
fscanf), you find that your variable can (will) be changed. You're not
comparing apples with apples.
