FREELOCALE(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual FREELOCALE(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
freelocale — free resources allocated for a locale object
#include <locale.h>
void freelocale(locale_t locobj);
The freelocale() function shall cause the resources allocated for a
locale object returned by a call to the newlocale() or duplocale()
functions to be released.
The behavior is undefined if the locobj argument is the special
locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object
handle.
Any use of a locale object that has been freed results in undefined
behavior.
None.
None.
The following sections are informative.
Freeing Up a Locale Object
The following example shows a code fragment to free a locale object
created by newlocale():
#include <locale.h>
...
/* Every locale object allocated with newlocale() should be
* freed using freelocale():
*/
locale_t loc;
/* Get the locale. */
loc = newlocale (LC_CTYPE_MASK | LC_TIME_MASK, "locname", NULL);
/* ... Use the locale object ... */
...
/* Free the locale object resources. */
freelocale (loc);
None.
None.
None.
