     7 @return   The localeconv function returns a pointer to a static object
       
     8 which may be altered by later calls to setlocale or localeconv.

    10 The localeconv function returns a pointer to a structure which provides parameters for formatting numbers, especially currency values:

    87 
       
    88 
       
    89 Unless mentioned above, an empty string as a value for a field indicates a zero length result or a value that is not in the current locale. A CHAR_MAX result similarly denotes an unavailable value. 
       
    90 
       
    91 Note: By default smartphone's monetary  settings will be returned from the localeconv instead of "C" structure

   145 @param category
       
   146 @param locale
       
   147 @return   Upon successful completion, setlocale returns the string associated with the specified category for the requested locale. The setlocale function returns NULL and fails to change the locale
       
   148 if the given combination of category and locale makes no sense.
       
   149 
       
   150 The setlocale function sets the C library’s notion of natural language formatting style for particular sets of routines. Each such style is called a 'locale' and is invoked using an appropriate name passed as a C string. 
       
   151 The setlocale function recognizes several categories of routines. These are the categories and the sets of routines they select: 
       
   152 
       
   153 @code
       
   154 LC_ALL  Set the entire locale generically.  
       
   155 LC_COLLATE  Set a locale for string collation routines. Currently locale setting does not have effect on this category.  
       
   156 LC_CTYPE  This controls recognition of upper and lower case, alphabetic or non-alphabetic characters, and so on. Currently locale setting does not have effect on this category.  
       
   157 LC_MESSAGES  
       
   158   Set a locale for message catalogs. Currently this category is not supported.  
       
   159 LC_MONETARY  
       
   160   Set a locale for formatting monetary values; this affects the localeconv function.  
       
   161 LC_NUMERIC  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 printf and scanf, as well as values returned by localeconv.  
       
   162 LC_TIME  Set a locale for formatting dates and times using the strftime function.  
       
   163 @endcode
       
   164 
       
   165 
       
   166 Only three locales are defined by default, the empty string which denotes the native environment, and the C and POSIX locales, which denote the C language environment. A locale argument of NULL causes setlocale to return the current locale. By default, C programs start in the C locale. The only function in the library that sets the locale is setlocale; the locale is never changed as a side effect of some other routine.
