import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.Iterator;
class Test {
     void m(String name) {
          Charset s = Charset.forName(name);
          System.out.println("display name= " + s.displayName());
          Set aliases = s.aliases();
          Iterator it = aliases.iterator();
          while (it.hasNext()) {
               String x = (String)it.next();
               System.out.println("alias= " + x);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          if (args.length > 0) new Test().m(args[0]);
