mm-encode-coding-string

mm-encode-coding-string is an alias for `encode-coding-string' in `mm-util.el'.

(mm-encode-coding-string STRING CODING-SYSTEM &optional NOCOPY BUFFER)

Encode STRING to CODING-SYSTEM, and return the result.

Optional third arg NOCOPY non-nil means it is OK to return STRING
itself if the encoding operation is trivial.

Optional fourth arg BUFFER non-nil means that the encoded text is
inserted in that buffer after point (point does not move). In this
case, the return value is the length of the encoded text.

This function sets `last-coding-system-used' to the precise coding system
used (which may be different from CODING-SYSTEM if CODING-SYSTEM is
not fully specified.)
