/** Create a new byte string by converting a Unicode string, using a specific
    text encoding.

    The lengths of the byte string and the Unicode string may differ (e.g.,
    for double-byte encodings, UTF-7, UTF-8).

    If the length of the Unicode string is greater than zero, the reference
    count of the new string will be 1.

    If an out-of-memory condition occurs, newStr will point to a null pointer
    upon return.

    @param newStr
    pointer to the new string.  The pointed-to data must be null or a valid
    string.

    @param str
    a Unicode character array.  Need not be null-terminated, but must be at
    least as long as the specified len.

    @param len
    the length of the Unicode character array.

    @param encoding
    the text encoding to use for conversion.

    @param convertFlags
    flags which control the conversion.  Either use
    OUSTRING_TO_OSTRING_CVTFLAGS, or see
    <http://udk.openoffice.org/cpp/man/spec/textconversion.html> for more
    details.

  Converts a Unicode string to a byte string, signalling failure.

  @param pTarget
  An out parameter receiving the converted string.  Must not be null itself, and
  must contain either null or a pointer to a valid rtl_String; the contents are
  not modified if conversion fails (rtl_convertUStringToString returns false).

  @param pSource
  The Unicode string.  May only be null if nLength is zero.

  @param nLength
  The length of the Unicode string.  Must be non-negative.

  @param nEncoding
  The text encoding to convert into.  Must be an octet encoding (i.e.,
  rtl_isOctetTextEncoding(nEncoding) must return true).

  @param nFlags
  A combination of RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS that detail how to do the conversion
  (see rtl_convertUnicodeToText).  RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS_FLUSH need not be
  included, it is implicitly assumed.  Typical uses are either
  RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS_UNDEFINED_ERROR |
  RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS_INVALID_ERROR (fail if a Unicode character cannot be
  converted to the target nEncoding) or OUSTRING_TO_OSTRING_CVTFLAGS (make a
  best efforts conversion).

  @return
  True if the conversion succeeded, false otherwise.
