|
|
.Nm duplocale
|
|
.Nd duplicate an locale
|

.Sh LIBRARY

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In xlocale.h
|
|
.Ft locale_t
|
|
.Fn duplocale "locale_t locale"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Duplicates an existing
|
|
.Fa locale_t
|
|
returning a new
|
|
.Fa locale_t
|
|
that refers to the same locale values but has an independent internal state.
|
|
Various functions, such as
|
|
.Xr mblen 3
|
|
require a persistent state.
|
|
These functions formerly used static variables and calls to them from multiple
|
|
threads had undefined behavior.
|
|
They now use fields in the
|
|
.Fa locale_t
|
|
associated with the current thread by
|
|
.Xr uselocale 3 .
|
|
These calls are therefore only thread safe on threads with a unique per-thread
|
|
locale.
|
|
The locale returned by this call must be freed with
|
|
.Xr freelocale 3 .
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr freelocale 3 ,
|
|
.Xr localeconv 3 ,
|
|
.Xr newlocale 3 ,
|
|
.Xr querylocale 3 ,
|
|
.Xr uselocale 3 ,
|
|
.Xr xlocale 3
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
This function conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2008 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Ideally,
|
|
.Xr uselocale 3
|
|
should make a copy of the
|
|
.Fa locale_t
|
|
implicitly to ensure thread safety,
|
|
and a copy of the global locale should be installed lazily on each thread.
|
|
The FreeBSD implementation does not do this,
|
|
for compatibility with Darwin.
