53 * stringprep_locale_charset - return charset used in current locale
55 * Find out current locale charset. The function respect the CHARSET
56 * environment variable, but typically uses nl_langinfo(CODESET) when
57 * it is supported. It fall back on "ASCII" if CHARSET isn't set and
58 * nl_langinfo isn't supported or return anything.
60 * Note that this function return the application's locale's preferred
61 * charset (or thread's locale's preffered charset, if your system
62 * support thread-specific locales). It does not return what the
63 * system may be using. Thus, if you receive data from external
64 * sources you cannot in general use this function to guess what
65 * charset it is encoded in. Use stringprep_convert from the external
66 * representation into the charset returned by this function, to have
67 * data in the locale encoding.
69 * Return value: Return the character set used by the current locale.
70 * It will never return NULL, but use "ASCII" as a fallback.
