stringi (version 1.1.3)

stri_locale_set: Set or Get Default Locale in

Description

stri_locale_set changes default locale for all functions in the stringi package, i.e. establishes the meaning of the ``NULL locale'' argument of locale-sensitive functions. On the other hand, stri_locale_get gets current default locale.

Usage

stri_locale_set(locale)
stri_locale_get()

Arguments

locale

single string of the form Language, Language_Country, or Language_Country_Variant, e.g. "en_US", see stri_locale_list

Value

stri_locale_set returns a string with previously used locale, invisibly. stri_locale_get returns a string of the form Language, Language_Country, or Language_Country_Variant, e.g. "en_US".

Details

See stringi-locale for more information on the effect of changing default locale. stri_locale_get is the same as stri_locale_info(NULL)$Name.
