27 Input/output library [input.output]

27.5 Iostreams base classes [iostreams.base]

27.5.3 Class ios_base [ios.base]

27.5.3.3 ios_base functions [ios.base.locales]

locale imbue(const locale& loc);

1

Effects: Calls each registered callback pair (fn,index) ([ios.base.callback]) as (*fn)(imbue_event,*this,index) at such a time that a call to ios_base::getloc() from within fn returns the new locale value loc.

2

Returns: The previous value of getloc().

3

Postcondition: loc == getloc().

locale getloc() const;

4

Returns: If no locale has been imbued, a copy of the global C++ locale, locale(), in effect at the time of construction. Otherwise, returns the imbued locale, to be used to perform locale-dependent input and output operations.
