idn_setlocalencoding(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual idn_setlocalencoding(3)

idn_setlocalencoding - set the local encoding

#include <idn/api.h>
idn_result_t
idn_setlocalencoding(const char *name);

The function sets "the local encoding" to name.

The local encoding value affects results of IDN_UNICODECONV and IDN_LOCALCONV actions in encoding and decoding conversions.

If name argument is NULL, the local encoding is determined by locale information. For example, the locale category LC_CTYPE has been set to "ja_JP.UTF-8", the idnkit library supposes the local encoding is "UTF-8". If an application changes its locale setting, also the local encoding value is changed automatically.

However, once a non-NULL local encoding name has been set by idn_setlocalencoding(), or set by IDN_LOCAL_CODESET environment variable, the local encoding will not be changed by locale information any longer.

Upon success, idn_setlocalencoding() returns idn_success. Otherwise, it returns an error code. See idn_result_tostring(3) for the complete list of error codes.
