NAME
locale.h, locale - category macros
SYNOPSIS

#include <locale.h>
DESCRIPTION

The <locale.h> header provides a definition for the lconv structure, which includes the following members. (See the definition of LC_MONETARY in locale(5).)

char *currency_symbol
char *decimal_point
char frac_digits
char *grouping
char *int_curr_symbol
char int_frac_digits
char int_n_cs_precedes
char int_n_sep_by_space
char int_n_sign_posn
char int_p_cs_precedes
char int_p_sep_by_space
char int_p_sign_posn
char *mon_decimal_point
char *mon_grouping
char *mon_thousands_sep
char *negative_sign
char n_cs_precedes
char n_sep_by_space
char n_sign_posn
char *positive_sign
char p_cs_precedes
char p_sep_by_space
char p_sign_posn
char *thousands_sep

The <locale.h> header defines NULL (as defined in <stddef.h>) and the following as macros:

LC_ALL
LC_COLLATE
LC_CTYPE
LC_MESSAGES
LC_MONETARY
LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME

The preceding expand to distinct integer constant expressions, for use as the first argument to the setlocale() function. See setlocale(3C).

The <locale.h> header also defines the following macros, for use with newlocale(3C):

LC_ALL_MASK
LC_COLLATE_MASK
LC_CTYPE_MASK
LC_MESSAGES_MASK
LC_MONETARY_MASK
LC_NUMERIC_MASK
LC_TIME_MASK

In addition, to facilitate the use of per-thread locales with the uselocale (3C) function, the < locale.h > header defines the following type and macro:

locale_t

An opaque type that refers to a locale constructed through the use of the newlocale (3C) function.

LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE

A macro which expands to a locale_t that represents the current global locale as set by setlocale (3C).

Additional macro definitions, beginning with the characters LC_ and an uppercase letter, can also be specified here.
