USELOCALE(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual USELOCALE(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.
uselocale — use locale in current thread
#include <locale.h>
locale_t uselocale(locale_t newloc);
The uselocale() function shall set the current locale for the current
thread to the locale represented by newloc.
The value for the newloc argument shall be one of the following:
1. A value returned by the newlocale() or duplocale() functions
2. The special locale object descriptor LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE
3. (locale_t)0
Once the uselocale() function has been called to install a thread-
local locale, the behavior of every interface using data from the
current locale shall be affected for the calling thread. The current
locale for other threads shall remain unchanged.
If the newloc argument is (locale_t)0, the object returned is the
current locale or LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE if there has been no previous call
to uselocale() for the current thread.
If the newloc argument is LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE, the thread shall use the
global locale determined by the setlocale() function.
Upon successful completion, the uselocale() function shall return the
locale handle from the previous call for the current thread, or
LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE if there was no such previous call. Otherwise,
uselocale() shall return (locale_t)0 and set errno to indicate the
error.
The uselocale() function may fail if:
EINVAL locale is not a valid locale object.
The following sections are informative.
None.
Unlike the setlocale() function, the uselocale() function does not
allow replacing some locale categories only. Applications that need
to install a locale which differs only in a few categories must use
newlocale() to change a locale object equivalent to the currently
used locale and install it.
None.
None.
