std::locale::name(3)	       C++ Standard Libary	    std::locale::name(3)

NAME
     std::locale::name - std::locale::name

Synopsis
	Defined in header <locale>
	std::string name() const;

	Returns  the  name of the locale, which is the name by which it is known
     to the
	operating system, such as "POSIX"  or  "en_US.UTF8"  or  "English_United
     States.1252".
	If  the locale is not a copy of a system-supplied locale, the string "*"
     is returned.

Return value
	The name of the locale or "*" if unnamed.

Example
     // Run this code

      #include <iostream>
      #include <locale>
      #include <string>

      int main()
      {
	  std::locale loc(std::locale(), new std::ctype<char>);
	  std::cout << "The default locale is " << std::locale().name() << '\n'
		    << "The user's locale is " << std::locale("").name() << '\n'
		    << "A nameless locale is " << loc.name() << '\n';
      }

Possible output:
      The default locale is C
      The user's locale is en_US.UTF8
      A nameless locale is *
