### Synopsis

`int32 ConvertShiftJIS2ASCII(const char *string,char *result, uint32 resultSize,uint8 unknownFiller);`

### Description

Converts a string from Shift-JIS to ASCII. The conversion is done as well as possible. If certain characters from the source string cannot be represented in ASCII, the unknownFiller byte will be inserted in the result buffer in their place.

### Arguments

resultSize
  The number of bytes available in the result buffer. This limits the number of bytes that are put into the buffer.

unknownFiller
  If a character sequence cannot be adequately converted, then this byte will be put into the result buffer in place of the character sequence.

### Return Value

If positive, then the number of characters in the result buffer. If negative, then an error code.

> = 0
  Number of characters in the result buffer.

JSTR_ERR_BUFFERTOO
