.Dd September 17, 2011 .Dt NEWLOCALE 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm newlocale .Nd Creates a new locale .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n xlocale .Ft locale_t .Fn newlocale "int mask" "const char * locale" "locale_t base" .Sh DESCRIPTION Creates a new locale, inheriting some properties from an existing locale. The .Fa mask defines the components that the new locale will have set to the locale with the name specified in the .Fa locale parameter. Any other components will be inherited from .Fa base . The .Fa mask is either .Fa LC_ALL_MASK , indicating all possible locale components, or the logical OR of some combination of the following: l -tag -width "LC_MESSAGES_MASK" -offset indent t LC_COLLATE_MASK The locale for string collation routines. This controls alphabetic ordering in .Xr strcoll 3 and .Xr strxfrm 3 . t LC_CTYPE_MASK The locale for the .Xr ctype 3 and .Xr multibyte 3 functions. This controls recognition of upper and lower case, alphabetic or non-alphabetic characters, and so on. t LC_MESSAGES_MASK Set a locale for message catalogs, see .Xr catopen 3 function. t LC_MONETARY_MASK Set a locale for formatting monetary values; this affects the .Xr localeconv 3 function. t LC_NUMERIC_MASK Set a locale for formatting numbers. This controls the formatting of decimal points in input and output of floating point numbers in functions such as .Xr printf 3 and .Xr scanf 3 , as well as values returned by .Xr localeconv 3 . t LC_TIME_MASK Set a locale for formatting dates and times using the .Xr strftime 3 function. .El This function uses the same rules for loading locale components as .Xr setlocale 3 . .Sh RETURN VALUES Returns a new, valid, .Fa locale_t or NULL if an error occurs. You must free the returned locale with .Xr freelocale 3 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr duplocale 3 , .Xr freelocale 3 , .Xr localeconv 3 , .Xr querylocale 3 , .Xr uselocale 3 , .Xr xlocale 3 .Sh STANDARDS This function conforms to .St -p1003.1-2008 .
