set_encoding

Description:

[ Version ( deprecated = true , deprecated_since = "0.54" ) ]
public bool set_encoding (string? codeset) throws Error

Warning: set_encoding is deprecated since 0.54.

Changes the encoding the terminal will expect data from the child to be encoded with.

Note:

Support for non-UTF-8 is deprecated.

For certain terminal types, applications executing in the terminal can change the encoding. If codeset is null, it uses "UTF-8".

Note: Support for non-UTF-8 is deprecated and may get removed altogether. Instead of this function, you should use a wrapper like luit(1) when spawning the child process.

Parameters:

this	a Terminal
codeset	target charset, or `null` to use UTF-8

Returns:

true if the encoding could be changed to the specified one, or false with error set to NO_CONVERSION.
