NAME

locale.h — category macros

SYNOPSIS

#include <locale.h>

DESCRIPTION

The <locale.h> header provides a definition for structure lconv , which includes at least the following members. (See the definitions of LC_MONETARY in the XBD specification, LC_MONETARY , and the XBD specification, LC_NUMERIC .)

char    *currency_symbol
char    *decimal_point
char     frac_digits
char    *grouping
char    *int_curr_symbol
char     int_frac_digits
char    *mon_decimal_point
char    *mon_grouping
char    *mon_thousands_sep
char    *negative_sign
char     n_cs_precedes
char     n_sep_by_space
char     n_sign_posn
char    *positive_sign
char     p_cs_precedes
char     p_sep_by_space
char     p_sign_posn
char    *thousands_sep

The <locale.h> header defines NULL (as defined in <stddef.h>) and at least the following as macros: LC_ALL LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME

which expand to distinct integral-constant expressions, for use as the first argument to the setlocale() function.

Additional macro definitions, beginning with the characters LC_ and an upper-case letter, may also be given here.

The following are declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes must be provided for use with an ISO C compiler. struct lconv *localeconv(void); char setlocale(int, const char *);

APPLICATION USAGE

None.
