NAME

  has_facet - A function template used to determine if a locale has a given
  facet.

SYNOPSIS

  #include <locale>
  template <class Facet> bool has_facet(const locale&) throw();

DESCRIPTION

  has_facet returns true if the requested facet is available in the locale,
  otherwise it returns false.   You specify the facet type by explicitly
  providing the template parameter. (See the example below.)

  Note that if your compiler cannot overload function templates on return
  type then you'll need to use an alternative has_facet template.  The
  alternative template takes an additional argument that's a pointer to the
  type of facet you want to check on.  The declaration looks like this:

  template <class Facet>
  const bool has_facet(const locale&, Facet*) throw();

  The example below shows the use of both variations of has_facet.

EXAMPLE

  //
  // hasfacet.cpp
  //

  #include <iostream>

  int main ()
  {
   using namespace std;

   locale loc;

  #ifndef _RWSTD_NO_TEMPLATE_ON_RETURN_TYPE
   cout << has_facet<ctype<char> >(loc) << endl;
  #else
   cout << has_facet(loc,(ctype<char>*)0) << endl;
  #endif

   return 0;
  }
