3 <<uselocale>>---free resources allocated for a locale object
13 locale_t uselocale(locale_t <[locobj]>);
15 locale_t _uselocale_r(void *<[reent]>, locale_t <[locobj]>);
18 The <<uselocale>> function shall set the current locale for the current
19 thread to the locale represented by newloc.
21 The value for the newloc argument shall be one of the following:
23 1. A value returned by the <<newlocale>> or <<duplocale>> functions
25 2. The special locale object descriptor LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE
29 Once the <<uselocale>> function has been called to install a thread-local
30 locale, the behavior of every interface using data from the current
31 locale shall be affected for the calling thread. The current locale for
32 other threads shall remain unchanged.
34 If the newloc argument is (locale_t) <<0>>, the object returned is the
35 current locale or LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE if there has been no previous call to
36 <<uselocale>> for the current thread.
38 If the newloc argument is LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE, the thread shall use the
39 global locale determined by the <<setlocale>> function.
42 Upon successful completion, the <<uselocale>> function shall return the
43 locale handle from the previous call for the current thread, or
44 LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE if there was no such previous call. Otherwise,
45 <<uselocale>> shall return (locale_t) <<0>> and set errno to indicate
50 <<uselocale>> is POSIX-1.2008.
