localeconv - get numeric formatting information
Standard C library (
libc,
-lc)
#include <locale.h>
struct lconv *localeconv(void);
The
localeconv() function returns a pointer to a
struct lconv for
the current locale. This structure is shown in
locale(7), and contains
all values associated with the locale categories
LC_NUMERIC and
LC_MONETARY. Programs may also use the functions
printf(3) and
strfmon(3), which behave according to the actual locale in use.
The
localeconv() function returns a pointer to a filled in
struct
lconv. This structure may be (in glibc,
is) statically allocated,
and may be overwritten by subsequent calls. According to POSIX, the caller
should not modify the contents of this structure. The
localeconv()
function always succeeds.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
