+.SH NAME
+duplocale
+\(em duplicate a locale object
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <locale.h>
+.P
+locale_t duplocale(locale_t \fIlocobj\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIduplocale\fR()
+function shall create a duplicate copy of the locale object referenced
+by the
+.IR locobj
+argument.
+.P
+If the
+.IR locobj
+argument is LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE,
+\fIduplocale\fR()
+shall create a new locale object containing a copy of the global locale
+determined by the
+\fIsetlocale\fR()
+function.
+.P
+The behavior is undefined if the
+.IR locobj
+argument is not a valid locale object handle.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion, the
+\fIduplocale\fR()
+function shall return a handle for a new locale object. Otherwise,
+\fIduplocale\fR()
+shall return (\c
+.BR locale_t )0
+and set
+.IR errno
+to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIduplocale\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR ENOMEM
+There is not enough memory available to create the locale object or
+load the locale data.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.SS "Constructing an Altered Version of an Existing Locale Object"
+.P
+The following example shows a code fragment to create a slightly
+altered version of an existing locale object. The function takes a
+locale object and a locale name and it replaces the
+.IR LC_TIME
+category data in the locale object with that from the named locale.

+.RE
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The use of the
+\fIduplocale\fR()
+function is recommended for situations where a locale object is being
+used in multiple places, and it is possible that the lifetime of the
+locale object might end before all uses are finished. Another reason to
+duplicate a locale object is if a slightly modified form is needed.
+This can be achieved by a call to
+\fInewlocale\fR()
+following the
+\fIduplocale\fR()
+call.
+.P
+As with the
+\fInewlocale\fR()
+function, handles for locale objects created by the
+\fIduplocale\fR()
+function should be released by a corresponding call to
+\fIfreelocale\fR().
+.P
+The
+\fIduplocale\fR()
+function can also be used in conjunction with
+.IR uselocale ((\c
+.BR locale_t )0).
+This returns the locale in effect for the calling thread, but can have
+the value LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE. Passing LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE to functions such as
+\fIisalnum_l\fR()
+results in undefined behavior, but applications can convert it into a
+usable locale object by using
+\fIduplocale\fR().
