Text Encoding Name Selector

You use a selector for the GetTextEncodingName function to indicate which part of an encoding name you want to determine. The text encoding name selector is defined by the TextEncodingNameSelector data type:

typedef UInt32 TextEncodingNameSelector;

The following enumeration defines the allowable constants for selecting parts of encoding names:

enum {
   kTextEncodingFullName = 0,
   kTextEncodingBaseName = 1,
   kTextEncodingVariantName= 2,
   kTextEncodingFormatName= 3
};
