There's no API for that.

Your only guarantee is that QString::fromLocal8Bit and QString::toLocal8Bit 
will use this encoding, and that the codec returned by 
QTextCodec::codecForLocale uses it too.

On all recent systems, that codec will be of type "System".

Why do you need to know which codec the locale uses?

Note: the locale codec does not work before you construct QCoreApplication.
