ec.putback -> string ec.putback(max_numbytes) -> string
Put back the bytes which will be converted.
The bytes are caused by invalid_byte_sequence error. When invalid_byte_sequence error, some bytes are discarded and some bytes are buffered to be converted later. The latter bytes can be put back. It can be observed by Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError#readagain_bytes and #primitive_errinfo.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("utf-16le", "iso-8859-1")
src = "\x00\xd8\x61\x00"
dst = ""
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst) #=> :invalid_byte_sequence
p ec.primitive_errinfo #=> [:invalid_byte_sequence, "UTF-16LE", "UTF-8", "\x00\xD8", "a\x00"]
p ec.putback #=> "a\x00"
p ec.putback #=> "" # no more bytes to put back
