glibc is sane enough, but there are no guarantees that the return of
nl_langinfo(CODESET) is a valid iconv codeset parameter or that it
will be convertible to UTF-8.

charmap info from locale?

2002-08-17 Thread John Ellson

Can anyone tell me how a program can determine what character encoding 
(charmap) it should
expect in a user's environment?   I want to use UTF-8 internally, but I 
need to know what to ask
iconv() to convert from.

I can't find anything in the default environment and the locale 
command doesn't seem to
provide charmap data.
