pub fn console_charset() -> Option<GString>v2_62 only.Expand description
Obtains the character set used by the console attached to the process, which is suitable for printing output to the terminal.
Usually this matches the result returned by g_get_charset(), but in environments where the locale’s character set does not match the encoding of the console this function tries to guess a more suitable value instead.
On Windows the character set returned by this function is the output code page used by the console associated with the calling process. If the codepage can’t be determined (for example because there is no console attached) UTF-8 is assumed.
The return value is true if the locale’s encoding is UTF-8, in that
case you can perhaps avoid calling g_convert().
The string returned in @charset is not allocated, and should not be freed.
§Returns
true if the returned charset is UTF-8
§charset
return location for character set
name, or None.
