NL_LANGINFO(3C)						       NL_LANGINFO(3C)

NAME
       nl_langinfo - language information

SYNOPSIS
       #include <langinfo.h>

       char *nl_langinfo(nl_item item);

DESCRIPTION
       The  nl_langinfo()  function  returns  a	 pointer  to a null-terminated
       string containing information relevant to a particular language or cul‐
       tural  area defined in the programs locale. The manifest constant names
       and values of item are defined by <langinfo.h>. For example:

       nl_langinfo (ABDAY_1);

       would return a pointer to the string "Dim" if the  identified  language
       was French and a French locale was correctly installed; or "Sun" if the
       identified language was English.

RETURN VALUES
       If setlocale(3C) has not been called successfully, or if	  data	for  a
       supported  language  is either not available, or if item is not defined
       therein, then nl_langinfo() returns  a  pointer	to  the	 corresponding
       string  in  the	C  locale.  In	all  locales,  nl_langinfo() returns a
       pointer to an empty string if item contains an invalid setting.

USAGE
       The nl_langinfo() function can be used safely in multithreaded applica‐
       tions,  as  long	 as  setlocale(3C)  is	not being called to change the
       locale.
