Set_Locale(4) Desktop Services Message Sets Set_Locale(4)NAMESet_Locale - set a tool's locale
SYNOPSIS
Set_Locale(in string category,
in string locale
[...]);
DESCRIPTION
The Set_Locale request reports the POSIX locale of the indicated locale
categories.
The category argument is the locale category to set. 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 locale to set the indicated cat‐
egory to. 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
Set_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 Set_Locale request.
EXAMPLES
The Set_Locale request can be sent as in the following example:
Tt_message msg = tttk_message_create(0, TT_REQUEST, TT_SESSION,
the_recipient_procid, TTDT_SET_LOCALE,
my_callback);
tt_message_arg_add(msg, TT_IN, Tttk_string, "LC_MONETARY");
tt_message_arg_add(msg, TT_IN, Tttk_string, "de");
tt_message_send(msg);
WARNINGSSet_Locale can also be sent as a multicast notice, as an edict to all
tools in the scope of the message. The consequences of doing so can be
severe and unexpected.
