(native-transcoder)

Returns an implementation-dependent transcoder that represents a possibly locale-dependent "native" transcoding.

This is commonly a UTF-8 transcoder with eol-style none (on Unix-like systems) and crlf on DOS and Windows systems, but can be anything that goes well with the native operating system.

See the notes in native-eol-style(3scm).

Returns a single value; a transcoder.

        => replace

The returned transcoder is used as an argument to various I/O procedures, such as bytevector->string(3scm), string->bytevector(3scm), open-bytevector-output-port(3scm), open-file-input-port(3scm), and open-file-output-port(3scm).

Transcoders are unique to the R6RS I/O system.

This procedure can raise exceptions with the following condition types:

&assertion (R6RS)

The wrong number of arguments was passed.

R6RS

This procedure was introduced in R6RS as part of the reworked I/O system.
