+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR setlocale ()
+function is used to set or query the program's current locale.
+.PP
+If
+.I locale
+is not NULL,
+the program's current locale is modified according to the arguments.
+The argument
+.I category
+determines which parts of the program's current locale should be modified.

+For further information on these locale categories, see
+.BR locale (7).
+.PP
+The argument
+.I locale
+is a pointer to a character string containing the
+required setting of
+.IR category .
+Such a string is either a well-known constant like "C" or "da_DK"
+(see below), or an opaque string that was returned by another call of
+.BR setlocale ().
+.PP
+If
+.I locale
+is an empty string,
+.BR """""" ,
+each part of the locale that should be modified is set according to the
+environment variables.
+The details are implementation-dependent.
+For glibc, first (regardless of
+.IR category ),
+the environment variable
+.B LC_ALL
+is inspected,
+next the environment variable with the same name as the category
+(see the table above),
+and finally the environment variable
+.BR LANG .
+The first existing environment variable is used.
+If its value is not a valid locale specification, the locale
+is unchanged, and
+.BR setlocale ()
+returns NULL.
+.PP
+The locale
+.B """C"""
+or
+.B """POSIX"""
+is a portable locale;
+it exists on all conforming systems.
+.PP
+A locale name is typically of the form
+.IR language "[_" territory "][." codeset "][@" modifier "],"
+where
+.I language
+is an ISO 639 language code,
+.I territory
+is an ISO 3166 country code, and
+.I codeset
+is a character set or encoding identifier like
+.B "ISO\-8859\-1"
+or
+.BR "UTF\-8" .
+For a list of all supported locales, try "locale \-a" (see
+.BR locale (1)).
+.PP
+If
+.I locale
+is NULL, the current locale is only queried, not modified.
+.PP
+On startup of the main program, the portable
+.B """C"""
+locale is selected as default.
+A program may be made portable to all locales by calling:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+after program initialization, and then:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+using the values returned from a
+.BR localeconv (3)
+call for locale-dependent information;
+.IP \[bu]
+using the multibyte and wide character functions for text processing if
+.BR "MB_CUR_MAX > 1" ;
+.IP \[bu]
+using
+.BR strcoll (3)
+and
+.BR strxfrm (3)
+to compare strings; and
+.IP \[bu]
+using
+.BR wcscoll (3)
+and
+.BR wcsxfrm (3)
+to compare wide-character strings.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+A successful call to
+.BR setlocale ()
+returns an opaque string that corresponds to the locale set.
+This string may be allocated in static storage.
+The string returned is such that a subsequent call with that string
+and its associated category will restore that part of the process's
+locale.
+The return value is NULL if the request cannot be honored.
