Each of the above macro constants expand to integer constant expressions with distinct values that are suitable for use as the first argument of setlocale.
| Constant | Explanation |
| LC_ALL | selects the entire C locale |
| LC_COLLATE | selects the collation category of the C locale |
| LC_CTYPE | selects the character classification category of the C locale |
| LC_MONETARY | selects the monetary formatting category of the C locale |
| LC_NUMERIC | selects the numeric formatting category of the C locale |
| LC_TIME | selects the time formatting category of the C locale |
Additional macro constants, with names that begin with LC_ followed by at least one uppercase letter, may be defined in locale.h. For example, the POSIX specification requires LC_MESSAGES and the GNU C library additionally defines LC_PAPER, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_TELEPHONE, LC_MEASUREMENT, and LC_IDENTIFICATION.
[edit] Example
#include <stdio.h> #include <locale.h> #include <time.h> #include <wchar.h> int main() { setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8"); // the C locale will be the UTF-8 enabled English setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "de_DE"); // decimal dot will be German setlocale(LC_TIME, "ja_JP"); // date/time formatting will be Japanese wchar_t str[100]; time_t t = time(NULL); wcsftime(str, 100, L"%A %c", localtime(&t)); wprintf(L"Number: %.2f\nDate: %Ls\n", 3.14, str); }
Output:
