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.
