bionic (3) stringprep_locale_charset.3.gz

Provided by: libidn11-dev_1.33-2.1ubuntu1.2_amd64 bug

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.
