| struct lconv *localeconv(void); |
||
The localeconv function obtains a pointer to a static object of type lconv, which represents numeric and monetary formatting rules of the current C locale.
Parameters
(none)
Return value
pointer to the current lconv object.
Notes
Modifying the object references through the returned pointer is undefined behavior.
localeconv modifies a static object, calling it from different threads without synchronization is undefined behavior.
Example
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <locale.h> int main(void) { setlocale(LC_MONETARY, "en_IN.utf8"); struct lconv *lc = localeconv(); printf("Local Currency Symbol : %s\n", lc->currency_symbol); printf("International Currency Symbol: %s\n", lc->int_curr_symbol); }
Output:
Local Currency Symbol : ₹ International Currency Symbol: INR
