setlocale Obtains or changes the program’s locale.
#include
char *setlocale (
int category /* localization category */
const char *locale /* locale */
)
Description
Arguments
The setlocale() function allows you to query or set certain parameters that are
sensitive to the geo-political location where a program is used. For example, in
Europe, the comma is sometimes used in place of the decimal point.
To query the locale or a portion thereof, you set locale to point to NULL. To change
the locale, or a portion thereof, you set locale to point to a string that specifies the
desired value.
category Specifies the localization category to be queried or changed, and
must be one of the following:
LC_ALL All categories.
LC_COLLATE Affects the behavior of strcoll() and
strxfrm().
LC_CTYPE Affects the behavior of the character-handling
functions (isalnum(), etc.) and the multibyte
functions.
LC_MONETARY Affects the monetary formatting information
returned by localeconv().
LC_NUMERIC Affects the decimal-point character for the
formatted input/output functions and the string
conversion functions, as well as the non-monetary
formatting information returned by
localeconv().
LC_TIME Affects the behavior of strftime().
