Subject: setlocale.3: Wording issues
Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 19:32:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e198d995-5a85-bda1-1a82-57260b9d4efe@gmail.com> (raw)
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
