<A NAME="sec3"><H3>Synopsis</H3></A>
<PRE>#include &lt;locale&gt;
namespace std {
template&lt;class Facet&gt; const Facet&amp; use_facet(const locale&amp;);
}
</PRE>
<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>
<UL><PRE>//
// usefacet.cpp
//
#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;
return 0;
