This would be locale_charset () from the gnulib module 'localcharset'.

Additionally, instead of doing the iconv() calls yourself - the error
handling can be complicated - you could make use of a "streaming iconv",
that is, an stream that is based on another stream and does an iconv()
conversion loop on the fly.

For output streams, this exists in gettext [1][2]; for input stream
it should work in a similar way.
