NL_LANGINFO(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		NL_LANGINFO(3)

NAME
     nl_langinfo — language information

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <langinfo.h>

     char *
     nl_langinfo(nl_item item);

DESCRIPTION
     The nl_langinfo() function returns a pointer to a string containing
     information relevant to the particular language or cultural area defined
     in the program's locale.  The manifest constant names and values of item
     are defined in <langinfo.h>.

     Calls to setlocale() with a category corresponding to the category of
     item, or to the category LC_ALL, may overwrite the buffer pointed to by
     the return value.

RETURN VALUES
     In a locale where langinfo data is not defined, nl_langinfo() returns a
     pointer to the corresponding string in the POSIX locale.  In all locales,
     nl_langinfo() returns a pointer to an empty string if item contains an
     invalid setting.

EXAMPLES
     For example:

	   nl_langinfo(ABDAY_1)

     would return a pointer to the string "Dom" if the identified language was
     Portuguese, and "Sun" if the identified language was English.

SEE ALSO
     setlocale(3)

STANDARDS
     The nl_langinfo() function conforms to Version 2 of the Single UNIX
     Specification (“SUSv2”).

HISTORY
     The nl_langinfo() function first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.
