NAME

       stringprep_locale_charset - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stringprep.h>

       const char * stringprep_locale_charset( void);

ARGUMENTS

        void

DESCRIPTION

       Find  out  current locale charset.  The function respect the CHARSET environment variable,
       but typically uses nl_langinfo(CODESET) when it is supported.  It fall back on "ASCII"  if
       CHARSET isn't set and nl_langinfo isn't supported or return anything.

       Note  that  this function return the application's locale's preferred charset (or thread's
       locale's preffered charset, if your system support thread-specific locales).  It does  not
       return  what the system may be using.  Thus, if you receive data from external sources you
       cannot in general use this  function  to  guess  what  charset  it  is  encoded  in.   Use
       stringprep_convert  from  the  external  representation  into the charset returned by this
       function, to have data in the locale encoding.

       Return value: Return the character set used by the current locale.  It will  never  return
       NULL, but use "ASCII" as a fallback.
