localeconv(3)

NAME

   localeconv - get numeric formatting information

SYNOPSIS

   #include <locale.h>

   struct lconv *localeconv(void);

DESCRIPTION

   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.

RETURN VALUE

   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.
