Query or set locale information for the C compiler.

This function is compatible with the following targets:

ANSI

BeOS

EMB/RTOS

Mac OS

Palm OS

Win32

#include <locale.h>

char *setlocale(

Parameters for this facility are:

category	int	The part of the C comiler to query or set.
locale	char *	A pointer to the locale

The category argument specifies the part of the C compiler to query or set.

The argument can have one of six values defined as macros in locale.h: LC_ALL for all aspects, LC_COLLATE for the collating function strcoll(), LC_CTYPE for ctype.h functions and the multibyte conversion functions in stdlib.h, LC_MONETARY for monetary formatting, LC_NUMERIC for numeric formatting, and LC_TIME for time and date formatting.

If the locale argument is a null pointer or an empty string, a query is made. The setlocale() function returns a pointer to a character string indicating which locale the specified compiler part is set to. The Metrowerks C compiler supports the "C" locale.

Attempting to set a part of the Metrowerks C compiler's locale will have no effect.
