localeconv() -- get locale-specific symbols

SYNOPSIS

#include <locale.h>

struct lconv *localeconv(void);

The localeconv() function returns a pointer to an lconv struct that has values for locale-specific symbols. Members of the structure lconv are either char or pointers to char. The pointers to char are null-terminated, possibly zero-length strings. Members that are type char have either the value of the symbol, or have the value CHAR_MAX to indicate that the symbol has no definition in the current locale.

The members of struct lconv are:

char *decimal_point: The radix character used to format nonmonetary quantities. This string is never empty.
char *thousands_sep: The character used to separate groups of digits before the radix character in formatted nonmonetary quantities.
char *grouping: A string whose elements indicate the size of each group of digits in formatted nonmonetary quantities.
char *int_curr_symbol: The international currency symbol applicable to the current locale.
char *currency_symbol: The local currency symbol applicable to the current locale.
char *mon_decimal_point: The radix character used to format monetary quantities.
char *mon_thousands_sep: The separator for groups of digits before the radix character in formatted monetary quantities.
char *mon_grouping: A string whose elements indicate the size of each group of digits in formatted monetary quantities.
char *positive_sign: The character used to indicate that a formatted monetary quantity is nonnegative.
char *negative_sign: The character used to indicate that a formatted monetary quantity is negative.
char int_frac_digits: The number of digits to be displayed following the radix character in an internationally formatted monetary quantity.
char frac_digits: The number of digits to be displayed following the radix character in a locally formatted monetary quantity.
char p_cs_precedes: Boolean value to indicate whether the currency_symbol precedes the value for a nonnegative formatted monetary quantity.
char p_sep_by_space: Boolean value to indicate whether the currency_symbol is separated by a space from the value for a nonnegative formatted monetary quantity.
char n_cs_precedes: Boolean value to indicate whether the currency_symbol precedes the value for a negative formatted monetary quantity.
char n_sep_by_space: Boolean value to indicate whether the currency_symbol is separated by a space from the value for a negative formatted monetary quantity.
char p_sign_posn: Set to a value indicating the position of the positive_sign for a nonnegative formatted monetary quantity.
char n_sign_posn: Set to a value indicating the position of the negative_sign for a negative formatted monetary quantity.
