-     This module contains an interface to the iconv library functions.

+     This module contains an interface to iconv character set conversion
+     facility. With this module, you can turn a string represented by a local
+     character set into the one represented by another character set,
+     which may be the Unicode charcter set. Supported character sets
+     depends on the iconv() implementation of your system.
