std::localeconv: std::localeconv

NAME

std::localeconv - std::localeconv

Synopsis

Defined in header <clocale>
std::lconv* localeconv();

The localeconv function obtains a pointer to a static object of type std::lconv, which represents numeric and monetary formatting rules of the current C locale.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Pointer to the current std::lconv object.

Notes

Modifying the object references through the returned pointer is undefined behavior.
std::localeconv modifies a static object, calling it from different threads without synchronization is undefined behavior.

Example

// Run this code

  #include <clocale>
  #include <iostream>

  int main()
  {
      std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja_JP.UTF-8");
      std::lconv* lc = std::localeconv();
      std::cout << "Japanese currency symbol: " << lc->currency_symbol
                << '(' << lc->int_curr_symbol << ")\n";
  }

Output:

  Japanese currency symbol: ￥(JPY )
