Update.
* libio/fileops.c (_IO_new_file_open): Recognize ,ccs= in mode string and load appropriate conversions. * libio/iofwide.c (__libio_codecvt): Renamed from libio_codecvt and made global. * libio/libioP.h: Declare __libio_codecvt. * manual/stdio.texi: Document ,ccs= option for fopen. * wcsmbs/wcsmbsload.c (__wcsmbs_named_conv): New function. * wcsmbs/wcsmbsload.h (__wcsmbs_named_conv): Declare. * libio/iofclose.c: Free conversion data if stream was wide-oriented. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/Dist: Add sys/io.h.

+If the @var{opentype} string contains the sequence
+@code{,ccs=@var{STRING}} then @var{STRING} is taken as the name of a
+coded character set and @code{fopen} will mark the stream as
+wide-oriented which appropriate conversion functions in place to convert
+from and to the character set @var{STRING} is place. Any other stream
+is opened initially unoriented and the orientation is decided with the
+first file operation. If the first operation is a wide character
+operation, the stream is not only marked as wide-oriented, also the
+conversion functions to convert to the coded character set used for the
+current locale are loaded. This will not change anymore from this point

Any other characters in @var{opentype} are simply ignored. They may be
meaningful in other systems.
