std::lconv(3)

NAME
std::lconv - std::lconv

Synopsis
   Defined in header <clocale>
   struct lconv;
   The class std::lconv contains numeric and monetary formatting rules as defined by a
   C locale. Objects of this struct may be obtained with std::localeconv. The members
   of std::lconv are values of type char and of type char*. Each char* member except
   decimal_point may be pointing at a null character (that is, at an empty C-string).
   The members of type char are all non-negative numbers, any of which may be CHAR_MAX
   if the corresponding value is not available in the current C locale.

                        indicates the separation of currency_symbol, negative_sign,

                        (public member object)
                        indicates the position of positive_sign in a non-negative
   char p_sign_posn monetary value
                        (public member object)
                        indicates the position of negative_sign in a negative monetary
   char n_sign_posn value
                        (public member object)

International monetary numeric formatting parameters
                        the string used as international currency name in the
   char* int_curr_symbol current C locale
                        (public member object)
                        the number of digits after the decimal point to display in
   char int_frac_digits an international monetary quantity
                        (public member object)
   char int_p_cs_precedes 1 if int_curr_symbol is placed before non-negative
   (C++11) international monetary value, 0 if after
                        (public member object)
   char int_n_cs_precedes 1 if int_curr_symboll is placed before negative
   (C++11) international monetary value, 0 if after
                        (public member object)
   char int_p_sep_by_space indicates the separation of int_curr_symbol, positive_sign,
   (C++11) and the non-negative international monetary value
                        (public member object)
   char int_n_sep_by_space indicates the separation of int_curr_symbol, negative_sign,
   (C++11) and the negative international monetary value
                        (public member object)
   char int_p_sign_posn indicates the position of positive_sign in a non-negative
   (C++11) international monetary value
                        (public member object)
   char int_n_sign_posn indicates the position of negative_sign in a negative
   (C++11) international monetary value
                        (public member object)
   The characters of the C-strings pointed to by grouping and mon_grouping are
   interpreted according to their numeric values. When the terminating '\0' is
   encountered, the last value seen is assumed to repeat for the remainder of digits.
   If CHAR_MAX is encountered, no further digits are grouped. the typical grouping of
   three digits at a time is "\003".
   The values of p_sep_by_space, n_sep_by_space, int_p_sep_by_space, int_n_sep_by_space
   are interpreted as follows:
   0 no space separates the currency symbol and the value
   1 sign sticks to the currency symbol, value is separated by a space
   2 sign sticks to the value. Currency symbol is separated by a space
   The values of p_sign_posn, n_sign_posn, int_p_sign_posn, int_n_sign_posn are
   interpreted as follows:
   0 parentheses around the value and the currency symbol are used to represent the
     sign
   1 sign before the value and the currency symbol
   2 sign after the value and the currency symbol
   3 sign before the currency symbol
   4 sign after the currency symbol

Example
// Run this code
 #include <clocale>
 #include <iostream>
 int main()
 {
     std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja_JP.UTF-8");
     std::lconv* lc = std::localeconv();
     std::cout << "Japanese currency symbol: " << lc->currency_symbol
               << '(' << lc->int_curr_symbol << ")\n";
 }

Output:
 Japanese currency symbol: ￥(JPY )
