Hi,

I need to determine the currently installed locales on the Linux
system, so that I can use them in my program.

I needed to know if it is possible to do this using some system call or
API on unix?  I basically need something that does the job of
"EnumSystemLocales()", which is a WIN32 API and does what I need.

Any help in this would be highly useful.

Thanks in advance,
Gaurav

`locale -a`

I'm not sure there's a (portable) way to do this directly in C.  If
non-portable is OK, you can probably read
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive and /usr/share/locale/locale.alias.
