NAME
       Get_Locale - get a tool's locale

SYNOPSIS
       Get_Locale(in string category,
                  out string locale
                  [...]);

DESCRIPTION
       The Get_Locale request reports the POSIX locale of the indicated locale
       categories.

       The category argument is the locale category to get.  A locale category
       is  a  group  of data types whose output formatting varies according to
       locale in a similar way.  ISO C and locale categories are:

            LC_ALL
            LC_COLLATE
            LC_CTYPE
            LC_MESSAGES
            LC_MONETARY
            LC_NUMERIC
            LC_TIME

       The locale argument is the name of the current locale of the  indicated
       category.  The value of locale is implementation-defined.  For example,
       Solaris defines such locales as C, de, fr, it, etc.

ERRORS
       The ToolTalk service may return the following error in  processing  the
       Get_Locale request:

          TT_DESKTOP_EINVAL
                The locale argument is not valid on the handler's host.

APPLICATION USAGE
       The  ttdt_session_join(3),  function  can  be used to register for, and
       transparently process, the Get_Locale request.

       Also, Get_Locale can be sent  by  ttdt_sender_imprint_on(3),  with  the
       reply being handled transparently.
