LOCALECONV(3) Linux Programmer's Manual LOCALECONV(3)
localeconv - get numeric formatting information
#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).
