This interface allows writing strings to a stream, doing automatic character encoding conversion.

interface nsIConverterOutputStream : nsIUnicharOutputStream
Methods
Initialize this stream. Must be called before any other method on this
interface, or you will crash. The output stream passed to this method
must not be null, or you will crash.
@param aOutStream
The underlying output stream to which the converted strings will
be written.
@param aCharset
The character set to use for encoding the characters. A null
charset will be interpreted as UTF-8.
@param aBufferSize
How many bytes to buffer. A value of 0 means that no bytes will be
buffered. Implementations not supporting buffering may ignore
this parameter.
@param aReplacementCharacter
The replacement character to use when an unsupported character is found.
The character must be encodable in the selected character
encoding; otherwise, attempts to write an unsupported character
will throw NS_ERROR_LOSS_OF_SIGNIFICANT_DATA.
A value of 0x0000 will cause an exception to be thrown upon
attempts to write unsupported characters.
