API-MS-Win-Core-Localization-L1-1-0

All functions in the API-MS-Win-Core-Localization-L1-1-0 set are exports from KERNEL32. Many are old, but some are new to version 6.1. One is exported only from versions before 6.1.

For most of these functions, the implementations in KERNEL32 version 6.1 and higher are just stubs which transfer the handling to wherever the schema redirects the API Set. The exceptions are:

• GetCPFileNameFromRegistry, which is no longer exported from KERNEL32;
• GetNLSVersion and GetNLSVersionEx, which retain non-trivial implementations in KERNEL32.

New Locations

Non-trivial implementations of all functions in this API Set are exported from KERNELBASE version 6.1 and higher, even if very nearly duplicating a substantial implementation that persists in KERNEL32.

Schema Redirection

The Windows 7 schema redirects this API Set to KERNELBASE. Thus:

• high-level executables, which do not use the API Set, continue to import these functions from KERNEL32;
• low-level executables have their imports from the API Set redirected to KERNELBASE;
• as a particular case of the preceding, the stub implementations in KERNEL32 import from underlying implementations in KERNELBASE.
