sys_get_locale

From assertive.reflection v0.0-5 by Richard Cotton

Get or set the system locale

Wrappers to Sys.getlocale and Sys.setlocale for getting and setting the system locale.

Usage

sys_get_locale(simplify = FALSE, remove_empty_categories = TRUE)
sys_set_locale(..., l = list())

Arguments

simplify: If TRUE, the locale settings are returned as a character vector, otherwise a list.
remove_empty_categories: if TRUE, don't include empty categories.
...: Name-value pairs of locale categories to set.
l: A list, as an alternative method of passing local categories to set.

Value

A named list or vector giving the system locale names. sys_set_locale invisibly returns the locale settings *before* making changes (like setwd and options do).

Examples

# NOT RUN {
(current_locale <- sys_get_locale())

# Output simplified to character vector
sys_get_locale(simplify = TRUE)
# }
# NOT RUN {
# Not run since it (temporarily) affects system settings
english <- if(is_windows()) "English.United_Kingdom" else 
  if(is_mac()) "en_GB" else 
  if(is_linux()) "en_GB.utf8" else
  "en"
sys_set_locale(LC_MONETARY = english)
sys_get_locale()
sys_set_locale(l = current_locale)  #restore everything
# }
