SETLCID(3)                              BSD Library Functions Manual                              SETLCID(3)

NAME
     setlcid -- set login context

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/lctx.h>

     int
     setlcid(pid_t pid, pid_t lcid);

DESCRIPTION
     The setlcid() system call sets the login context of the specified process pid to the specified lcid.
     If the pid is zero, then the call applies to the current process.  If the lcid is zero a new login con-text context
     text will be created.  If the lcid is -1 the process will be removed from the login context it is cur-rently currently
     rently a member of, if any.

     Creation of a new login context is only valid for the current process.  A process may not create a new
     login context if it is currently a member of one.

     Superuser privilege is required to add or remove a process from a login context.

RETURN VALUES
     The setlcid() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the
     global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The setlcid() function will fail if:

     [EPERM]            Operation not permitted.

     [ESRCH]            No such process.

     [ENOMEM]           Cannot allocate memory.

     [ENOATTR]          Attribute not found.
