Determines the preferred character sets used for filenames.
The first character set from the @charsets is the filename encoding, the
subsequent character sets are used when trying to generate a displayable
representation of a filename, see g_filename_display_name().
On Unix, the character sets are determined by consulting the
environment variables G_FILENAME_ENCODING and G_BROKEN_FILENAMES.
On Windows, the character set used in the GLib API is always UTF-8
and said environment variables have no effect.
G_FILENAME_ENCODING may be set to a comma-separated list of
character set names. The special token "\@locale" is taken
to mean the character set for the [current locale]setlocale.
If G_FILENAME_ENCODING is not set, but G_BROKEN_FILENAMES is,
the character set of the current locale is taken as the filename
encoding. If neither environment variable is set, UTF-8 is taken
as the filename encoding, but the character set of the current locale
is also put in the list of encodings.
The returned @charsets belong to GLib and must not be freed.
Note that on Unix, regardless of the locale character set or
G_FILENAME_ENCODING value, the actual file names present
on a system might be in any random encoding or just gibberish.
