This example sets the locale of the program to be "fr_fr.ibm-850" and prints the string that is associated with the locale.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <locale.h>
#if (1 == __TOS_OS2__) #define LOCNAME "fr_fr.ibm-850" /* OS/2 name */ #else #define LOCNAME "fr_fr.ibm-1252" /* Windows name */ #endif
int main(void)
{
char *string;
if (NULL == (string = setlocale(LC_ALL, LOCNAME)))
printf("Locale \"%s\" could not be loaded\n", LOCNAME);
else
printf("The current locale is set to %s.\n", string);
return 0;
/*******************************************************
The output should be similar to :
The current locale is set to fr_fr.ibm-850. *******************************************************/ }
This example uses setenv to set the value of the environment variable LC_TIME to FRAN, calls setlocale to set all categories to default values, then queries all categories, and uses printf to print results.
#include <locale.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>
#if (1 == __TOS_OS2__) #define LOCSTR "LC_TIME=fr_fr.ibm-437" /* OS/2 name */ #else #define LOCSTR "LC_TIME=fr_fr.ibm-1252" /* Windows name */ #endif
int main(void)
{
char *string;
_putenv(LOCSTR);
if (NULL == (string = setlocale(LC_ALL, ""))) {
printf("setlocale(LC_ALL, \"\") failed.\n");
exit(1);
} else
printf("The current locale categories are: \"%s\"\n", string);
return 0;
/*******************************************************************
The output should be similar to:
The current locale categories are: "C,C,C,C,fr_fr.ibm-437,C,C,C" *******************************************************************/ }
