    @code
    t_charset_converter *conv = object_new(CLASS_NOBOX, gensym("charset_converter"), ps_macroman, ps_ms_ansi);
    char *cstr = "Text to convert";
    char *cvtbuffer = NULL; // to-be-allocated data buffer
    long cvtbuflen = 0; // length of buffer on output

    if (conv) {

        if (object_method(conv, gensym("convert"), cstr, strlen(cstr) + 1, &cvtbuffer, &cvtbuflen) == ERR_NONE) {
            // do something with the converted buffer
            sysmem_freeptr(cvtbuffer); // free newly allocated data buffer
        }
        object_free(conv); // free converter
