Function Documentation

◆ ulocdata_close()

U_CAPI void ulocdata_close ( ULocaleData uld)

Closes a locale data object.

Parameters
uldThe locale data object to close
Stable:
ICU 3.4

◆ ulocdata_getCLDRVersion()

U_CAPI void ulocdata_getCLDRVersion ( UVersionInfo  versionArray,
UErrorCode status 
)

Return the current CLDR version used by the library.

Parameters
versionArrayfill-in that will receive the version number
statuserror code - could be U_MISSING_RESOURCE_ERROR if the version was not found.
Stable:
ICU 4.2

◆ ulocdata_getDelimiter()

U_CAPI int32_t ulocdata_getDelimiter ( ULocaleData uld,
ULocaleDataDelimiterType  type,
UChar result,
int32_t  resultLength,
UErrorCode status 
)

Returns one of the delimiter strings associated with a locale.

Parameters
uldPointer to the locale data object from which the delimiter string is to be retrieved.
typethe type of delimiter to be retrieved.
resultA pointer to a buffer to receive the result.
resultLengthThe maximum size of result.
statusPointer to an error code value
Returns
int32_t The total buffer size needed; if greater than resultLength, the output was truncated.
Stable:
ICU 3.4

◆ ulocdata_getExemplarSet()

U_CAPI USet * ulocdata_getExemplarSet ( ULocaleData uld,
USet fillIn,
uint32_t  options,
ULocaleDataExemplarSetType  extype,
UErrorCode status 
)

Returns the set of exemplar characters for a locale.

Parameters
uldPointer to the locale data object from which the exemplar character set is to be retrieved.
fillInPointer to a USet object to receive the exemplar character set for the given locale. Previous contents of fillIn are lost. If fillIn is NULL, then a new USet is created and returned. The caller owns the result and must dispose of it by calling uset_close.
optionsBitmask for options to apply to the exemplar pattern. Specify zero to retrieve the exemplar set as it is defined in the locale data. Specify USET_CASE_INSENSITIVE to retrieve a case-folded exemplar set. See uset_applyPattern for a complete list of valid options. The USET_IGNORE_SPACE bit is always set, regardless of the value of 'options'.
extypeSpecifies the type of exemplar set to be retrieved.
statusPointer to an input-output error code value; must not be NULL. Will be set to U_MISSING_RESOURCE_ERROR if the requested data is not available.
Returns
USet* Either fillIn, or if fillIn is NULL, a pointer to a newly-allocated USet that the user must close. In case of error, NULL is returned.
Stable:
ICU 3.4

◆ ulocdata_getLocaleDisplayPattern()

U_CAPI int32_t ulocdata_getLocaleDisplayPattern ( ULocaleData uld,
UChar pattern,
int32_t  patternCapacity,
UErrorCode status 
)

Returns locale display pattern associated with a locale.

Parameters
uldPointer to the locale data object from which the exemplar character set is to be retrieved.
patternlocale display pattern for locale.
patternCapacitythe size of the buffer to store the locale display pattern with.
statusMust be a valid pointer to an error code value, which must not indicate a failure before the function call.
Returns
the actual buffer size needed for localeDisplayPattern. If it's greater than patternCapacity, the returned pattern will be truncated.
Stable:
ICU 4.2

◆ ulocdata_getLocaleSeparator()

U_CAPI int32_t ulocdata_getLocaleSeparator ( ULocaleData uld,
UChar separator,
int32_t  separatorCapacity,
UErrorCode status 
)

Returns locale separator associated with a locale.

Parameters
uldPointer to the locale data object from which the exemplar character set is to be retrieved.
separatorlocale separator for locale.
separatorCapacitythe size of the buffer to store the locale separator with.
statusMust be a valid pointer to an error code value, which must not indicate a failure before the function call.
Returns
the actual buffer size needed for localeSeparator. If it's greater than separatorCapacity, the returned separator will be truncated.
Stable:
ICU 4.2

◆ ulocdata_getMeasurementSystem()

U_CAPI UMeasurementSystem ulocdata_getMeasurementSystem ( const char *  localeID,
UErrorCode status 
)

Returns the measurement system used in the locale specified by the localeID.

Please note that this API will change in ICU 3.6 and will use an ulocdata object.

Parameters
localeIDThe id of the locale for which the measurement system to be retrieved.
statusMust be a valid pointer to an error code value, which must not indicate a failure before the function call.
Returns
UMeasurementSystem the measurement system used in the locale.
Stable:
ICU 2.8

◆ ulocdata_getNoSubstitute()

U_CAPI UBool ulocdata_getNoSubstitute ( ULocaleData uld)

Retrieves the current "no Substitute" value of the locale data object.

If true, then any methods associated with the locale data object will return null when there is no data available for that method, given the locale ID supplied to ulocdata_open().

Parameters
uldPointer to the The locale data object to set.
Returns
UBool Value of the "no substitute" attribute.
Stable:
ICU 3.4

◆ ulocdata_getPaperSize()

U_CAPI void ulocdata_getPaperSize ( const char *  localeID,
int32_t *  height,
int32_t *  width,
UErrorCode status 
)

Returns the element gives the normal business letter size, and customary units.

The units for the numbers are always in milli-meters. For US since 8.5 and 11 do not yield an integral value when converted to milli-meters, the values are rounded off. So for A4 size paper the height and width are 297 mm and 210 mm respectively, and for US letter size the height and width are 279 mm and 216 mm respectively. Please note that this API will change in ICU 3.6 and will use an ulocdata object.

Parameters
localeIDThe id of the locale for which the paper size information to be retrieved.
heightA pointer to int to receive the height information.
widthA pointer to int to receive the width information.
statusMust be a valid pointer to an error code value, which must not indicate a failure before the function call.
Stable:
ICU 2.8

◆ ulocdata_open()

U_CAPI ULocaleData * ulocdata_open ( const char *  localeID,
UErrorCode status 
)

Opens a locale data object for the given locale.

Parameters
localeIDSpecifies the locale associated with this locale data object.
statusPointer to error status code.
Stable:
ICU 3.4

◆ ulocdata_setNoSubstitute()

U_CAPI void ulocdata_setNoSubstitute ( ULocaleData uld,
UBool  setting 
)

Sets the "no Substitute" attribute of the locale data object.

If true, then any methods associated with the locale data object will return null when there is no data available for that method, given the locale ID supplied to ulocdata_open().

Parameters
uldThe locale data object to set.
settingValue of the "no substitute" attribute.
