stringprep_locale_charset(3) [suse man page]

stringprep_locale_charset(3)					      libidn					      stringprep_locale_charset(3)

NAME

       stringprep_locale_charset - return charset used in current locale

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.
