Never mind, I confused iconv_open and iconv() because the man page was
in error:
RETURN VALUE
The iconv function returns the number of characters converted in a non-
reversible way during this call; reversible conversions are not
counted. In case of error, it sets errno and returns (iconv_t)(-1).
But this man page doesn't seem to come from glibc...
