NAME

       stringprep_locale_charset - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stringprep.h>

       const char * stringprep_locale_charset( void);

ARGUMENTS

        void

DESCRIPTION

       Enumerated return codes of the TLD checking functions.  The value 0 is guaranteed to always correspond to
       success.

       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
       preferred 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.
