localeconv.3: Add description of the function is not thread-safe
PATCH 1/1 localeconv.3: Add description of the function is not thread-safe
Hi Michael,
The function "localeconv" returns a pointer to a structure which might be overwritten by subsequent calls to localeconv' or by calls to setlocale', so it is not thread-safe.
