idn_setlocalencoding(3)                     DragonFly Library Functions Manual

NAME
       idn_setlocalencoding - set the local encoding

SYNOPSIS
       #include <idn/api.h>

       idn_result_t
       idn_setlocalencoding(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION
       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.
