Manual Pages  — __ICONV_GET_LIST

NAME

__iconv_get_list, __iconv_free_list – retrieving a list of character encodings supported by iconv(3)

CONTENTS

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <iconv.h>

int
__iconv_get_list(char ***names, size_t count, bool paired);

void
__iconv_free_list(char **names, size_t count);

DESCRIPTION

The __iconv_get_list() function obtains a list of character encodings that are supported by the iconv(3) call. The list of the encoding names will be stored in names and the number of the entries is stored in count. If the paired variable is true, the list will be arranged into canonical/alias name pairs.

The __iconv_free_list() function is to free the allocated memory during the call of __iconv_get_list().

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion __iconv_get_list() returns 0 and set the names and count arguments. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

SEE ALSO

iconv(3), iconvlist(3)

STANDARDS

The __iconv_get_list and __iconv_free_list functions are non-standard interfaces, which appeared in the implementation of the Citrus Project. The iconv implementation of the Citrus Project was adopted in FreeBSD 9.0 .

Like a classics radio station whose play list spans decades, Unix simultaneously exhibits its mixed and dated heritage. There's Clash-era graphics interfaces; Beatles-era two-letter command names; and systems programs (for example, ps) whose terse and obscure output was designed for slow teletypes; Bing Crosby-era command editing (# and @ are still the default line editing commands), and Scott Joplin-era core dumps.
