I give up. :-)

Where can I find a programmer's guide to locales.  Both POSIX and SUSv2
seem to assume a working understanding of how locales work.

In particular, I'm trying to figure out how to discover what the current
locale is within an application.  If that seems like s atupid thing to
want to do, assume that it's because I don't understand what's going on.
:-)

TIA
Sheldon.
