<h3>SETLOCALE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SETLOCALE(3)
</h3>
<h3>NAME
</h3> setlocale - set the current locale.
<h3>SYNOPSIS
</h3> #include <locale.h>
char *setlocale(int category, const char * locale);
<h3>DESCRIPTION
</h3> The setlocale() function is used to set or query the pro-
gram's current locale. If locale is "C" or "POSIX", the
current locale is set to the portable locale.
If locale is "", the locale is set to the default locale
which is selected from the environment variable LANG.
On startup of the main program, the portable "C" locale is
selected as default.
The argument category determines which functions are
influenced by the new locale:
LC_ALL for all of the locale.
LC_COLLATE
for the functions strcoll() and strxfrm().
LC_CTYPE
for the character classification and conversion
routines.
LC_MONETARY
for localeconv().
LC_NUMERIC
for the decimal character.
LC_TIME
for strftime(). NULL if the request cannot not be
honored. This string may be allocated in static
storage.
A program may be made portable to all locales by calling
setlocale(LC_ALL, "" ) after program initialization, by
using the values returned from a localeconv() call for
locale - dependent information and by using strcoll() or
strxfrm() to compare strings.
<h3>CONFORMS TO
</h3> ANSI C, POSIX.1
Linux supports the portable locales "C" and "POSIX" and
also the European Latin-1 "ISO-8859-1" , and Russian
"KOI-8" locales.
