setlocale.3: Wording issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Michael,

I don't understand what this paragraph means, I think it needs some wfix.

Around setlocale.3:179:
[
       On  startup  of  the main program, the portable "C" locale is
       selected as default.  A program may be made portable  to  all
       locales by calling:

           setlocale(LC_ALL, "");

       after  program  initialization,  by using the values returned
       from a localeconv(3) call for  locale-dependent  information,
       by  using the multibyte and wide character functions for text
       processing if MB_CUR_MAX > 1, and by  using  strcoll(3),  wc‐
       scoll(3) or strxfrm(3), wcsxfrm(3) to compare strings.

<<<Especially these last 2 lines

]

Thanks,

Alex
