Get_Locale(4)
CDE


NAME
  Get_Locale - get a tool's locale

SYNOPSIS
  Get_Locale(in string category,
	  out string locale
	  [...]);

DESCRIPTION
  The Get_Locale request reports the POSIX locale of the indicated locale
  categories.

  The category argument is the locale category to get.	A locale category is
  a group of data types whose output formatting varies according to locale in
  a similar way.  ISO C and  locale categories are:

       LC_ALL
       LC_COLLATE
       LC_CTYPE
       LC_MESSAGES
       LC_MONETARY
       LC_NUMERIC
       LC_TIME

  The locale argument is the name of the current locale of the indicated
  category.  The value of locale is implementation-defined.  For example,
  Solaris defines such locales as C, de, fr, it, etc.

ERRORS
  The ToolTalk service may return the following error in processing the
  Get_Locale request:

  TT_DESKTOP_EINVAL
	The locale argument is not valid on the handler's host.

APPLICATION USAGE
  The ttdt_session_join(3), function can be used to register for, and
  transparently process, the Get_Locale request.

  Also, Get_Locale can be sent by ttdt_sender_imprint_on(3), with the reply
  being handled transparently.
