NLgetctab



PURPOSE

Finds and maps character collating and classification tables to code points.

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc.a)

SYNTAX

void NLgetctab (ctfile)
char *ctfile;

DESCRIPTION

In the multibyte environment, the NLgetctab subroutine is a front-end to
setlocale.  If the variable NLCTAB is not defined and the parameter passed to
it is a NULL pointer, then NLgetctab sets the locale to the default C locale;
otherwise, NLgetctab passes the parameter to setlocale and behaves as if
setlocale (LC_ALL, ctfile) were executed (see "setlocale").

RETURN VALUE

When NLgetctab succeeds, 0 is returned, otherwise -1 is returned.
