HP-UX man pages, summarize the goal localeconv()

as:

localeconv () - Query the formatting conventions of the current locale

The IBM z / VM C library manual describes it as follows:



localeconv () - numeric query conditional

I'm not sure where exactly this language originated, but a number of sources seem to agree that it means "agreements."

I believe (but not 100% positive) that this means "agreements", as in the conventions of the current region you are in, for expressing money, numbers, etc.



Hope this helps!
