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.
[1] http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/iconv.html [2] gconv modules are located in /usr/lib/gconv, provided by the glibc package.
