localeconv - get numeric formatting information
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#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.
