<A NAME="sec4"><H3>Description</H3></A>
<P><SAMP>use_facet()</SAMP> returns a reference to the corresponding facet contained in the <SAMP>locale</SAMP> argument. You specify the facet type by explicitly including the template parameter (see the example below). If that facet is not present, then <SAMP>use_facet()</SAMP> throws <B><I><A HREF="bad-cast.html">bad_cast</A></I></B>. Otherwise, the reference remains valid for as long as any copy of the locale exists.</P>
<A NAME="sec5"><H3>Example</H3></A>

#include &lt;iostream&gt;

int main () {

  std::locale loc;

  // Get a ctype facet
  const std::ctype&lt;char&gt;&amp;
      ct = std::use_facet&lt;std::ctype&lt;char&gt; &gt;(loc); 

  std::cout &lt;&lt; 'a' &lt;&lt; ct.toupper('c') &lt;&lt; std::endl;
