Open interfaces probably have pages in sections 3c and 3head of the
manual, but if there's support for multiple environments where their
requirements clash (generic, xpg4, xpg6, what else?), that may
either not tell the whole story, or may require paying very close
attention (and probably looking at SUSv2/3 as well (see www.unix.org or
www.opengroup.org). Not to mention
that it all probably needs to be thread-safe. I could probably make some
more specific guesses, but I don't recall that anyone's mentioned that
they've read up on "clean room" reimplementation practices (I haven't
recently), so I don't want to mess things up by saying too much.
No, I've never seen the source for this stuff, but I could probably tell
a lot more by looking at libc_i18n than would be helpful to post here.
So I won't talk about it further until there's something in place that would
provide guidance how to do this without stepping on anyone's toes.
