struct lconv *localeconv(void); DESCRIPTION The localeconv() function returns a pointer to a struct lconv for the current locale.

Programs may also use the functions printf(3) and strfmon(3), which behave according to the actual locale in use. RETURN VALUE The localeconv() function returns a pointer to a filled in struct lconv. This structure may be (in glibc, is) statically allocated, and may be overwritten by subsequent calls. According to POSIX, the caller should not modify the contents of this structure. The localeconv() function always succeeds.
