| \page locale_information Getting information about the current locale |
| |
| The \c std::locale::name function provides very limited information about a locale. Such a name is platform- |
| and compiler-dependent, and is useless for Boost.Locale. There is no way to change it, so for all locales |
| created by Boost.Locale, \c name() returns the same value as \c name() for \c std::locale::classic(). |
| |
| Thus an additional facet was created, giving more precise information: boost::locale::info. It has the following member functions: |
| |
| - \ref boost::locale::info::name() "std::string name()" -- the full name of the locale, for example \c en_US.UTF-8 |
| - \ref boost::locale::info::language() "std::string language()" -- the ISO-639 language code of the current locale, for example "en". |
| - \ref boost::locale::info::country() "std::string country()" -- the ISO-3199 country code of the current locale, for example "US". |
| - \ref boost::locale::info::variant() "std::string variant()" -- the variant of current locale, for example "euro". |
| - \ref boost::locale::info::encoding() "std::string encoding()" -- the encoding used for \c char based strings, for example "UTF-8" |
| - \ref boost::locale::info::utf8() "bool utf8()" -- a fast way to check whether the encoding is UTF-8. |
| |
| For example: |
| |
| \code |
| cout << "The language code is " << std::use_facet<boost::locale::info>(some_locale).language() << endl; |
| \endcode |
