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.

.SH SYNOPSIS

.nf
#include <locale.h>
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
ISO\ C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature test macro
(see the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
.IR "Section 2.2" ", " "The Compilation Environment")
to enable the visibility of these symbols in this header.
.P
The
.IR <locale.h>
header shall define the
.BR lconv
structure, which shall include at least the following members.
(See the definitions of
.IR LC_MONETARY
in
.IR "Section 7.3.3" ", " "LC_MONETARY"
and
.IR "Section 7.3.4" ", " "LC_NUMERIC".)

.P
The
.IR <locale.h>
header shall define NULL (as described in
.IR <stddef.h> )
and at least the following as macros:
.P
.nf
LC_ALL
LC_COLLATE
LC_CTYPE
LC_MESSAGES
LC_MONETARY
LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME
.fi
.P
which shall expand to integer constant expressions with distinct
values for use as the first argument to the
\fIsetlocale\fR()
function.
.P
Additional macro definitions, beginning with the characters
.IR LC_
and an uppercase letter, may also be specified by the implementation.
.P
The
.IR <locale.h>
header shall contain at least the following macros representing
bitmasks for use with the
\fInewlocale\fR()
function for each supported locale category:
LC_COLLATE_MASK
LC_CTYPE_MASK
LC_MESSAGES_MASK
LC_MONETARY_MASK
LC_NUMERIC_MASK
LC_TIME_MASK
.P
In addition, a macro to set the bits for all categories set shall be
defined:
LC_ALL_MASK
.P
The
.IR <locale.h>
header shall define LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE, a special locale object descriptor
used by the
\fIduplocale\fR()
and
\fIuselocale\fR()
functions.
.P
The
.IR <locale.h>
header shall define the
.BR locale_t
type, representing a locale object.
.P
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided for use with ISO\ C standard
compilers.

locale_t duplocale(locale_t);
void freelocale(locale_t);
struct lconv *localeconv(void);

locale_t uselocale (locale_t);
.fi

.LP
.IR "The following sections are informative."
.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
None.
.SH RATIONALE
It is suggested that each category macro name for use in
\fIsetlocale\fR()
have a corresponding macro name ending in
.IR _MASK
for use in
\fInewlocale\fR().
.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
None.
