I've never heard of using "" (blank string) to mean "the current
encoding". If it's documented usage for glibc, it must be buried
somewhere in the docs; it's definitely not a standard usage. The
standard way to get the locale's encoding is nl_langinfo(CODESET); on
any good implementation it will be accepted as an argument to
iconv_open.
As for the others (UTF-8, latin1, UCS-[24][BL]E, and ASCII) they
should all be accepted just fine. But it would probably be smarter to
use the standard name for latin1, ISO-8859-1.
