stri_locale_info: Query Given Locale#
Description#
Provides some basic information on a given locale identifier.
Usage#
stri_locale_info(locale = NULL)
Arguments#
|
|
Details#
With this function you may obtain some basic information on any provided locale identifier, even if it is unsupported by ICU or if you pass a malformed locale identifier (the one that is not, e.g., of the form Language_Country). See stringi-locale for discussion.
This function does not do anything really complicated. In many cases it is similar to a call to as.list(stri_split_fixed(locale, '_', 3L)[[1]])
, with locale
case mapped. It may be used, however, to get insight on how ICU understands a given locale identifier.
Value#
Returns a list with the following named character strings: Language
, Country
, Variant
, and Name
, being their underscore separated combination.
