No documentation for /usr/lib/charset.alias interface
Submitted by Brian Cameron
Link to original bug (#533949)
Description
GLib installs the file /usr/lib/charset.alias. This file is used by gettext, gm4 and other modules which seems to indicate that it is an interface intended to be used outside of GLib. Is this a stable interface, or is there risk that the file location/format might change in the future?
I notice this interface isn't discussed in the Glib API docs aside from a brief mention associated with the "LIBCHARSET_ALIAS_DIR" which allows you to specify a different file location for the file.
If this is a stable interface, this should probably be mentioned in the docs along with mention about how the file is formatted and how it is intended to be used.
