charencoding_locale implementation

See charencoding_locale for interface description. Calls POSIX conforming nl_langinfo to query the information.

setdefault_locale implementation

Calls C99 conforming function »setlocale«. With category LC_ALL all different subsystems of the C runtime environment are changed to the locale set by the user.

The changed categories are

LC_COLLATE	Changes character classes in »regular expression matching« and »string compare and sorting«.
LC_CTYPE	Changes character classification, conversion, case-sensitive comparison, and wide character functions.
LC_MESSAGES	Changes language of system messages (strerror, perror).
LC_MONETARY	Changes monetary formatting.
LC_NUMERIC	Changes number formatting (such as the decimal point and the thousands separator).
LC_TIME	Changes time and date formatting.

reset_locale implementation

Calls C99 conforming function »setlocale«. Set all subsystems of the C runtime environment to the standard locale “C” which is active by default after process creation.
