Get file translation mode of stdout

Question

Function int _setmode(int, int) allows to switch stdout among ASCII and UTF (wide) modes.

Is there a function to read the current translation mode of stdout? Something like _getmode? In C# there is the Console.OutputEncoding property.

I'd like to use it for functions that can temporarily change the mode and then set back the original mode.

Answer 1

From the documentation:

Return Value

If successful, returns the previous translation mode.

Using the return value allows to set back the original value.
