defmodule BCP47 do
  @moduledoc ~S"""
  Main BCP47 module.

  The `BCP47` module provides a parser for
  [bcp 47](https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47) spec'd language tags.
  """

  @type tag :: String.t

  @doc """
  Gets the locale for the current process and the given backend.

  This function returns the value of the locale for the current process and the
  given `backend`. If there is no locale for the current process and the given
  backend, the default locale is set as the locale for the current process and
  the given backend and then returned. For more information on the default
  locale and how it can be set, refer to the documentation of the `Gettext`
  module.
