Hi,
I would like to propose the attached patch for the printf(3) man page.
The patch adds the following sentence to the description of the ' flag
(aka. thousands separator):
Note also that the default locale of a C program is "C" whose
locale information indicates no thousands' grouping character.
Therefore, without a prior setlocale(3) no thousands' grouping
characters will be printed.
Best Regards,
Jürgen Sauermann
