determining the current charset

W

William Morgan

Hi all,

What's the best way to determine the current charset, i.e., the value I
need to give to Iconv as the 'to' encoding so that converted characters
display correctly on the terminal?

My current best guess is: `locale -c LC_CTYPE|head -6|tail -1`.
