### Method

# Vte Terminalset_encoding

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    vte_terminal_set_encoding (
      VteTerminal* terminal,
      const char* codeset,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Changes the encoding the terminal will expect data from the child to be encoded with. For certain terminal types, applications executing in the terminal can change the encoding. If `codeset` is `NULL`, it uses “UTF-8”.

Note: Support for non-UTF-8 is deprecated and may get removed altogether. Instead of this function, you should use a wrapper like luit(1) when spawning the child process.

Deprecated since: | 0.54
Support for non-UTF-8 is deprecated.

Sets property | `Vte.Terminal:encoding`

#### Return value

Returns: | `gboolean`
| `TRUE` if the encoding could be changed to the specified one, or `FALSE` with `error` set to `G_CONVERT_ERROR_NO_CONVERSION`.
