QUERYLOCALE(3)	       FreeBSD Library Functions Manual		QUERYLOCALE(3)

NAME
     querylocale -- Look up the	locale name or version for a specified cate-
     gory

LIBRARY
     Standard C	Library	(libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <locale.h>

     const char	*
     querylocale(int mask, locale_t locale);

DESCRIPTION
     Returns the name or version of the	locale for the category	specified by
     mask.  The	possible values	for the	mask are the same as those in
     newlocale(3), when	requesting the locale name.  Specify the bitwise OR of
     LC_VERSION_MASK and another mask value to request a version string.  Ver-
     sion strings can be compared to detect changes to the locale's defini-
     tion.  The	structure of the version string	is unspecified.	 Currently,
     version information is only available for LC_COLLATE_MASK,	and an empty
     string is returned	for other categories.  If more than one	bit in the
     mask is set, not counting LC_VERSION_MASK,	the returned value is unde-
     fined.

     xlocale(3)

HISTORY
     The querylocale() function	first appeared in FreeBSD 9.1, and is based on
     the function of the same name in Darwin.  LC_VERSION_MASK first appeared
     in	FreeBSD	13.0.
