Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
   This IANA Charset MIB is now an IANA registry.  In particular, a
   single textual convention 'IANACharset' is defined that may be used
   to specify charset labels in MIB objects.  'IANACharset' was
   extracted from Printer MIB v2 (RFC 3805).  'IANACharset' was
   originally defined (and mis-named) as 'CodedCharSet' in Printer MIB
   v1 (RFC 1759).  A tool has been written in C, that may be used by
   IANA to regenerate this IANA Charset MIB, when future charsets are
   registered in accordance with the IANA Charset Registration
   Procedures (RFC 2978).
