#include <locale.h> char * setlocale( int category, const char * locale );
libc
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The setlocale() function selects a program's locale, according to the specified category and the specified locale.
A locale affects several things:
See the localeconv() function for more information about the locale.
At the start of a program, the default C locale is initialized as if the following call to setlocale() appeared at the start of main():
(void)setlocale( LC_ALL, "C" );
The string associated with the specified category for the new locale, or NULL if an error occurs. This function doesn't change the program's locale when error occurs.
For a NULL pointer of locale, this function returns a pointer to the string associated with the category for the program's current locale. This function doesn't change the program's locale. |
