正确的iconv使用方法

网上典型的代码是这一段：

char* ConvertEnc( char *encFrom, char *encTo, const char * in)
{
	static char bufin[1024], bufout[1024], *sin, *sout;
	int lenin, lenout, ret;
	iconv_t c_pt;

	if ((c_pt = iconv_open(encTo, encFrom)) == (iconv_t)-1)
	{
		printf("iconv_open false: %s ==> %s", encFrom, encTo);
		return NULL;
	}
	iconv(c_pt, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

	lenin  = strlen(in) + 1;
	lenout = 1024;
	sin    = (char *)in;
	sout   = bufout;
	ret = iconv(c_pt, (const char**)&sin, (size_t *)&lenin, &sout, (size_t *)&lenout);

	if (ret == -1)
	{
		return NULL;
	}
	iconv_close(c_pt);

	return bufout;
}

这段代码里面有3个问题：
1.没有重复使用初始化后的iconv_t。
