43.Sh LIBRARY
44.Lb libc
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46.In iconv.h
47.Ft int
48.Fn __iconv_get_list "char ***names" "size_t count" "bool paired"
49.Ft void
50.Fn __iconv_free_list "char **names" "size_t count"
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Fn __iconv_get_list
54function obtains a list of character encodings that are supported by the
55.Xr iconv 3
56call.
57The list of the encoding names will be stored in
58.Fa names
59and the number of the entries is stored in
60.Fa count .
61If the
62.Fa paired
63variable is true, the list will be arranged into
64canonical/alias name pairs.
65.Pp
66The
67.Fn __iconv_free_list
68function is to free the allocated memory during the call of
69.Fn __iconv_get_list .
