SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/comm.h>

mixed get_connection_charset (int mode)

DESCRIPTION
Return the connection charset of the current interactive in the form
requested by <mode>:
<mode> == CHARSET_VECTOR: return as bitvector
<mode> == CHARSET_STRING: return as string

Alternatively, the status of the IAC quoting can be queried:
<mode> == CHARSET_QUOTE_IAC:
Return 0 if IACs are not quoted, return 1 if they are.

The bitvector is interpreted as an array of 8-bit-values and might
contain up to 32 elements. Character n is "combinable"
if sizeof(bitvector) > n/8 && bitvector[n/8] & (1 << n%8) .

If there is no current interactive, the function returns 0.
