🎀 Typedef Documentation 🎀

🧚 typedef struct MLocale MLocale

struct MLocale — bestie, this struct is where all the locale info lives: the name, the language, the territory, the modifier, the codeset, and the corresponding coding system of locales. she's holding everything. 💅

⚠️ heads up: the contents of this structure are implementation dependent, and its internal structure is concealed from application programs. so like… don't go poking around in there, she's private. 🙈
