Description

Here is the input program, the compile line and the output.

$ cat t.cpp && xlC -g t.cpp -o ./t && ./t
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>

int main (int, char**)
{
    FILE* pipe = popen ("locale -a", "r");
    if (!pipe)
        return 1;

    char buf [128];
    while (fgets (buf, sizeof (buf), pipe)) {

        const size_t len = strlen (buf);
        buf [len ? len - 1 : 0] = '\0';

        setlocale (LC_CTYPE, buf);
    }

    pclose (pipe);

    if (!setlocale (LC_ALL, "EN_US"))
        return 2;

    const time_t t = time (0);
    const tm *ptm = localtime (&t);

    strftime (buf, sizeof buf, "%Y", ptm);

    return 0;
}
