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> + +
