structure, which shall include at least the
following members. (See the definitions of \fILC_MONETARY\fP in \fILC_MONETARY\fP
and
\fILC_NUMERIC\fP .)

which shall expand to distinct integer constant expressions, for use
as the first argument to the \fIsetlocale\fP() function.
.LP
Additional macro definitions, beginning with the characters \fILC_\fP
and an uppercase letter, may also be given here.
