45.In iconv.h
46.Ft void
47.Fo iconvlist

51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Fn iconvlist
54function obtains a list of character encodings that are supported by the
55.Xr iconv 3
56call.
57The
58.Fn do_one
59callback function will be called, where the
60.Fa count
61argument will be set to the number of the encoding names found, the
62.Fa names
63argument will be the list of the supported encoding names and the
64.Fa arg
65argument will be the \"outer\"
66.Fa arg
67argument of the
68.Fn iconvlist
69function.
70This argument can be used to interchange custom data between the caller of
71.Fn iconvlist
72and the callback function.
73.Pp
74If an error occurs,
75.Fa names
76will be NULL when calling
77.Fn do_one .
