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. <h3>GNU April 18, 1993 1 </h3> <h3>SETLOCALE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SETLOCALE(3) </h3> The printf() family of functions may or may not honor the current locale. </pre> <hr> <h3>SEE ALSO </h3><p> <a href=locale.htm>locale</a>, <a href=localedef.htm>localedef</a>, <a href=strcoll.htm>strcoll</a>, <a href=isalpha.htm>isalpha</a>, <a href=conv.htm>conv</a>, <a href=strftime.htm>strftime</a>, <a href=locale.htm>locale</a>, <pre> <h3>GNU April 18, 1993 2 </h3> </pre> <P> <hr> <p> <center> <table border=2 width=80%> <tr align=center> <td width=25%> <a href=../index.htm>Top</a> </td><td width=25%> <a href=../master_index.html>Master Index</a> </td><td width=25%> <a href=../SYNTAX/keywords.html>Keywords</a> </td><td width=25%> <a href=../FUNCTIONS/index.htm>Functions</a> </td> </tr> </table> </center> <p> <hr> This manual page was brought to you by <i>mjl_man V-2.0</i>
