stri_enc_list: List Known Character Encodings

Description

Gives the list of encodings that are supported by ICU.

Usage

stri_enc_list(simplify = FALSE)

Arguments

simplify
single logical value; return a character vector or a list of character vectors?

Value

  • If simplify is FALSE (the default), a list of character vectors is returned. Each list element represents a unique character encoding. The name attribute gives the ICU Canonical Name of an encoding family. The elements (character vectors) are its aliases.

    If simplify is TRUE, then the resulting list is coerced to a character vector and sorted, and returned with removed duplicated entries.

Details

Please note that apart from given encoding identifiers and their aliases, some other specifiers will be available in your conversion tasks. This is due to the fact that ICU tries to normalize converter names. E.g. "UTF8" is also valid, see stringi-encoding for more information.
