Locale

Locale refers to country/region and language settings that you can use to customize your program. Some locale-dependent categories include the display formats for dates and monetary values. For more information, see Locale categories.

Use the setlocale function to change or query some or all of the current program or thread locale information while using functions without the _l suffix. The functions with the _l suffix will use the locale parameter passed in for their locale information during the execution of that specific function only. To create a locale for use with a function with a _l suffix, use _create_locale. To free this locale, use _free_locale. To get the current locale, use _get_current_locale.

Use _configthreadlocale to control whether each thread has its own locale, or all threads in a program share the same locale. For more information, see Locales and code pages.

More secure versions of the functions in the following table are available, indicated by the _s ("secure") suffix. For more information, see Security features in the CRT.

Note

For multibyte routines, the multibyte code page must be equivalent to the locale set with setlocale. _setmbcp, with an argument of _MB_CP_LOCALE makes the multibyte code page the same as the setlocale code page.
