iconv_open(): This has a return variable of datatype iconv_t. This is a
structure composing an int (the return value) and an int array (12 elements
containing fromccsid, toccsid, shift state, etc...).


For the return value the documentation states: If successful, iconv_open()
returns a conversion descriptor of data type iconv_t. This conversion
descriptor must be passed unchanged as an input parameter to the iconv() and
iconv_close() functions. If unsuccessful, iconv_open() returns -1 in the
return value of the conversion descriptor and sets errno to indicate the
error.

Note that iconv_open() returns a structure therefore it cannot return -1. To indicate an error is sets the return value FIELD of the iconv_t structure to -1. That is not the same as returning -1. The return value field is named return_value in the C header and is an int.
