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 con-
stant 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 cate-
gory LC_ALL, may overwrite buffer pointed by the return value.
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.
RETURN VALUES
In a locale where langinfo data is not defined, nl_langinfo() returns a pointer to the cor-
responding string in the POSIX locale. In all locales, nl_langinfo() returns a pointer to
an empty string if item contains an invalid setting.
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.
