LIBCHARSET - portable character set determination library
|
||||
|
||||
This library provides a function which determines the character set / encoding
|
||||
of text in the currently selected locale (the LC_CTYPE locale facet).
|
||||
|
||||
It is useful for portable programs which need to process text in other
|
||||
encodings and locales than the currently selected one. Possible uses:
|
||||
|
||||
* Use of Unicode in POSIX compliant applications.
|
||||
* Conversion of text between the current locale's encoding and UTF-8 (or
|
||||
any other given encoding).
|
||||
* Mail agents.
|
||||
|
||||
In theory, this would be very simple: The Single Unix Specification (SUSV2)
|
||||
provides the nl_langinfo function, in such a way that
|
||||
|
||||
nl_langinfo (CODESET)
|
||||
|
||||
returns the encoding name. But the nl_langinfo function still does not exist
|
||||
on some systems, and on those where it exists it returns unstandardized
|
||||
variations of the encoding names, like (on Solaris) "PCK" for "Shift_JIS".
|
||||
|
||||
This library fixes these flaws and provides a function
|
||||
|
||||
const char * locale_charset (void);
|
||||
|
||||
It determines the current locale's character encoding, and canonicalizes it
|
||||
into one of the canonical names listed in config.charset. The result must
|
||||
not be freed; it is statically allocated. If the canonical name cannot be
|
||||
determined, the result is a non-canonical name.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installation:
|
||||
|
||||
As usual for GNU packages:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This library is used in
|
||||
GNU sh-utils, fileutils, textutils
|
||||
GNU gettext
|
||||
GNU clisp
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To integrate this library into your package:
|
||||
See file INTEGRATE.
|
||||
