Hi!

 Some time ago I wrote in this list :
http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/1999-09/msg00095.html

 The nl_langinfo() not defined in POSIX, so many POSIX-compliant
*NIXes does not have this function. FreeBSD, for example.

 And one more difficult question. Nor POSIX nor XPG does not have
support for Charset Aliases as defined by IANA/IETF :
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets
So, you can get any Alias from nl_langinfo(CODESET), not
right (MIME preferred) name of your current Charset.
