The name 'iconv' can actually mean two things:
a. the command line program which I mentioned
b. the iconv() library function [1]

The GNU C Library (glibc) implements the iconv() C function. This
implementation is called gconv. It is not directly usable by end-users.

The iconv command line program uses gconv (part of glibc) to do
conversion. 

Don't worry about it unless you are writing a conversion module[2] for
gconv.

[2] gconv modules are located in /usr/lib/gconv, provided by the glibc
package.
