+ To simply access to the various codecs, the module provides these
+ additional functions which use \function{lookup()} for the codec
+ lookup:
+ 
+ \begin{funcdesc}{getencoder}{encoding}
+ Lookup up the codec for the given encoding and return its encoder
+ function.
+ 
+ Raises a \exception{LookupError} in case the encoding cannot be found.
+ \end{funcdesc}
+ 
+ \begin{funcdesc}{getdecoder}{encoding}
+ Lookup up the codec for the given encoding and return its decoder
+ function.
+ 
+ Raises a \exception{LookupError} in case the encoding cannot be found.
+ \end{funcdesc}
+ 
+ \begin{funcdesc}{getreader}{encoding}
+ Lookup up the codec for the given encoding and return its StreamReader
+ class or factory function.
+ 
+ Raises a \exception{LookupError} in case the encoding cannot be found.
+ \end{funcdesc}
+ 
+ \begin{funcdesc}{getwriter}{encoding}
+ Lookup up the codec for the given encoding and return its StreamWriter
+ class or factory function.
+ 
+ Raises a \exception{LookupError} in case the encoding cannot be found.
+ \end{funcdesc}
+ 
  To simplify working with encoded files or stream, the module
  also defines these utility functions:
