From: "steffen at sdaoden dot eu" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org> To: glibc-bugs@sourceware.org Subject: [Bug libc/29913] iconv(3) is not POSIX compliant, and does not conform to linux man-pages manual Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2023 23:02:47 +0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <bug-29913-131-qRWoTcpdcW@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw) In-Reply-To: <bug-29913-131@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29913 --- Comment #11 from Steffen Nurpmeso <steffen at sdaoden dot eu> --- iconv could do much more for programmers anyway. For example email software has to know whether an actual character set is, in fact, US-ASCII, and the iconv implementation surely knows. Yet it does not expose an API for this particular thing ("official name"). Like normalize_name(), and i have a dedicated is_ascii like /* In reversed MIME preference order */ static char const * const names[] = {"csASCII", "cp367", "IBM367", "us", "ISO646-US", "ISO_646.irv:1991", "ANSI_X3.4-1986", "iso-ir-6", "ANSI_X3.4-1968", "ASCII", "US-ASCII"}; I am pretty sure GNU iconv will map all those names to the thing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
