#include <locale.h>
The <locale.h> header shall define the lconv structure, which shall include at least the following members. (See the definitions of LC_MONETARY in Section 7.3.3, LC_MONETARY and Section 7.3.4, LC_NUMERIC.)
char *currency_symbol char *decimal_point char frac_digits char *grouping char *int_curr_symbol char int_frac_digits char int_n_cs_precedes char int_n_sep_by_space char int_n_sign_posn char int_p_cs_precedes char int_p_sep_by_space char int_p_sign_posn 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 shall define NULL (as described 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 shall expand to integer constant expressions with distinct values for use as the first argument to the setlocale() function.
Additional macro definitions, beginning with the characters LC_ and an uppercase letter, may also be specified by the implementation.
The <locale.h> header shall contain at least the following macros representing bitmasks for use with the newlocale() function for each supported locale category: LC_COLLATE_MASK LC_CTYPE_MASK LC_MESSAGES_MASK LC_MONETARY_MASK LC_NUMERIC_MASK LC_TIME_MASK
In addition, a macro to set the bits for all categories set shall be defined: LC_ALL_MASK
The <locale.h> header shall define LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE, a special locale object descriptor used by the duplocale() and uselocale() functions.
The <locale.h> header shall define the locale_t type, representing a locale object.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided for use with ISO C standard compilers.
locale_t duplocale(locale_t); void freelocale(locale_t); struct lconv *localeconv(void); locale_t newlocale(int, const char *, locale_t); char *setlocale(int, const char *); locale_t uselocale (locale_t);
