How to know encoding used for filename

synna · 12-21-2004, 04:33 AM

Hi,

For a project I need to know wich encoding (ISO-Latin1 or UTF-8...) is used for path and filename. Is this always the same ?
can I assume something ?

I use iconv to convert encoding (actually all the app is in UTF-8) and I can't use a library for this.

Thanks for your response.

Well, you can check if there are UTF-8 characters in the path. And that's the only way. But... it'll fail if other encoding is used.
