 /**
  * stringprep_locale_charset:
  *
- * Find out system locale charset.
+ * Find out current locale charset.  The function respect the CHARSET
+ * environment variable, but typically uses nl_langinfo(CODESET) when
+ * it is supported.  It fall back on "ASCII" if CHARSET isn't set and
+ * nl_langinfo isn't supported or return anything.
  *
- * Note that this function return what it believe the SYSTEM is using
- * as a locale, not what locale the program is currently in (modified,
- * e.g., by a setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "ISO-8859-1")).  The reason is that
- * data read from argv[], stdin etc comes from the system, and is more
- * likely to be encoded using the system locale than the program
- * locale.
+ * Note that this function return the application's locale's preferred
+ * charset (or thread's locale's preffered charset, if your system
+ * support thread-specific locales).  It does not return what the
+ * system may be using.  Thus, if you receive data from external
+ * sources you cannot in general use this function to guess what
+ * charset it is encoded in.  Use stringprep_convert from the external
+ * representation into the charset returned by this function, to have
+ * data in the locale encoding.
  *
- * You can set the environment variable CHARSET to override the value
- * returned.  Note that this function caches the result, so you will
- * have to modify CHARSET before calling (even indirectly) any
- * stringprep functions, e.g., by setting it when invoking the
- * application.
- *
- * Return value: Return the character set used by the system locale.
+ * Return value: Return the character set used by the current locale.
  *   It will never return NULL, but use "ASCII" as a fallback.
