NAME

       localeconv - get numeric formatting information

SYNOPSIS

       #include <locale.h>

       struct lconv *localeconv(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  localeconv()  function returns a pointer to a struct lconv for the
       current locale.  This structure is shown in locale(7), and contains all
       values   associated   with   the   locale   categories  LC_NUMERIC  and
       LC_MONETARY.   Programs  may  also  use  the  functions  printf(3)  and
       strfmon(3), which behave according to the actual locale in use.

CONFORMING TO

       C89, C99.

BUGS

       The  printf(3)  family  of  functions  may or may not honor the current
       locale.
