    Problem Text


    The XPG4 interface definition for iconv() is not consistent
    with the prototype definition of the interface in the iconv.h.

    The XPG4 System Headers and Interfaces, Issue 4 on page 206
    which is the man page for iconv has the following definition
    of the interface as the synopsis:

    size_t iconv(iconv_t cd, const char **inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft,
    char **outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);

    The man page for iconv.h on page 555 defines the interface:

    size_t iconv(iconv_t cd, char **inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft,
    char **outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);

    The interfaces differ in that the argument **inbuf is first
    defined a "const char" and second as "char".

    The VSX test suite tests for the iconv.h version of the defined
    interface. A waiver should be granted in that VSX cannot correctly
    test for a defintion which has inconsistent iconv() defintions.
    This implementation believes that the prototype definition in the
    interface definition is the correct.


    Test Output

    ************************************************************************
    /tset/XPG4.hdr/misc/iconv/T.iconv 4 Failed

    Test Description:
    The header file contains a prototype form function declaration for
    iconv().

    Test Strategy:
    UNDEFINE macro version of iconv()
    COMPARE return value against item of the same type.
    USE return value as an array reference.
    ASSIGN return value to an item of the same type.
    ASSIGN address of function to item of the same type.
    IF prototype testing is required
    VERIFY a prototype exists
    SUPPLY a correct prototype
