Hi,
I would like to request a patch to localcharset.c to add __MVS__ to the list of systems that should default to UTF-8.
On line 1137 to 1139, the code is currently:
# if (defined __APPLE__ && defined __MACH__) || defined __BEOS__ || defined __HAIKU__
codeset = "UTF-8";
# else
I would like to request the __MVS__ macro be added so that z/OS will default to UTF-8, e.g.
# if (defined __APPLE__ && defined __MACH__) || defined __BEOS__ || defined __HAIKU__ || defined __MVS__
codeset = "UTF-8";
# else
I am currently using this patch for man-db so that it can correctly render UTF-8 man pages.
