idn_setlanguage(3)idn_setlanguage(3)NAMEidn_setlanguage - set the current language
SYNOPSIS
#include <idn/api.h>
idn_result_t
idn_setlanguage(const char *name);
DESCRIPTION
The function sets "the current language" to name.
The current language value affects results of "language-local" and
"lowercase" mapping procedures in encoding and decoding conversions.
If name argument is NULL, the current language is determined by locale
information. For example, the locale category LC_CTYPE has been set to
"ja_JP.UTF-8", the idnkit library supposes the current language is "ja"
(Japanese). If an application changes its locale setting, also the
current language value is changed automatically.
However, once a non-NULL language name has been set by idn_set‐
language() or set by "language" entry in a configuration file, the cur‐
rent language will not be changed by locale information any longer.
Upon success, idn_setlanguage() returns idn_success. Otherwise, it
returns an error code. See idn_result_tostring(3) for the complete
list of error codes.
