You mean something like:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
int main(void)
{
char *locale;
locale = setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "en_US.iso88591");
if (locale == NULL) {
perror("setlocale");
} else {
printf("%'d\n", 12345);
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, locale);
}
return 0;
}
$ ./a.out
12,345
$
See setlocale(3), printf(3), locale(1), locale(5), and locale(7).
Note that the single quote between % and d is correct...
