Datasheet

The C and C++ Libraries

Implementation

To select an ISO8859-1 (Latin-1 alphabet) locale category, include a call from your

application to the functions shown in Table 4-6.

There is no ISO8859-1 version of the LC_TIME category.

The C library tests for the existence of the callout function before calling it. If the

function does not exist, a default action is taken.

Table 4-6 Default locales

Function Description

__use_iso8859_ctype()

Selects the ISO8859-1 (Latin-1) classification of

characters (this is essentially 7-bit ASCII, except that

the top-bit-set character codes 160-255 represent a

selection of useful European punctuation characters,

letters, and accented letters).

__use_iso8859_collate()

Selects the strcoll/strxfrm collation table appropriate

to the Latin-1 alphabet. The default C locale does not

require a collation table.

__use_iso8859_monetary()

Selects the Sterling monetary category using Latin-1

coding.

__use_iso8859_numeric()

Selects separating thousands with commas in the

printing of numeric values.

__use_iso8859_locale()

Selects all the above

iso8859

selections.
