iconv_canonicalize – resolving character encoding names to canonical form

LIBRARY SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION RETURN VALUES SEE ALSO STANDARDS AUTHORS

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

#include <iconv.h>

const char *
iconv_canonicalize(const char *name);

The iconv_canonicalize() function resolves the character encoding name specified by the name argument to its canonical form.

Upon successful completion iconv_canonicalize(), returns the canonical name of the given encoding. If the specified name is already a canonical name, the same value is returned. If the specified name is not an existing character encoding name, NULL is returned.

The iconv_canonicalize function is a non-standard extension, which appeared in the GNU implementation and was adopted in FreeBSD 9.0 for compatibility's sake.
