.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <langinfo.h>
\fBchar *\fR\fBnl_langinfo\fR(\fBnl_item\fR \fIitem\fR);
.fi
!
.SH DESCRIPTION
- .sp
.LP
The \fBnl_langinfo()\fR function returns a pointer to a null-terminated string
containing information relevant to a particular language or cultural area
defined in the programs locale. The manifest constant names and values of
\fIitem\fR are defined by <\fBlanginfo.h\fR>. For example:
! .sp
.LP
- \fBnl_langinfo (ABDAY_1);\fR
- .sp
- .LP
would return a pointer to the string "\fBDim\fR" if the identified language was
French and a French locale was correctly installed; or "\fBSun\fR" if the
identified language was English.
.SH RETURN VALUES
- .sp
.LP
! If \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) has not been called successfully, or if data for a
supported language is either not available, or if \fIitem\fR is not defined
! therein, then \fBnl_langinfo()\fR returns a pointer to the corresponding string
! in the C locale. In all locales, \fBnl_langinfo()\fR returns a pointer to an
empty string if \fIitem\fR contains an invalid setting.
- .SH USAGE
- .sp
- .LP
- The \fBnl_langinfo()\fR function can be used safely in multithreaded
- applications, as long as \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) is not being called to change the
- locale.

! .TH NL_LANGINFO 3C "Jun 24, 2014"
.SH NAME
! nl_langinfo, nl_langinfo_l \- language information
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <langinfo.h>
\fBchar *\fR\fBnl_langinfo\fR(\fBnl_item\fR \fIitem\fR);
.fi
! .LP
! .nf
! \fBchar *\fR\fBnl_langinfo_l\fR(\fBnl_item\fR \fIitem\fR, \fBlocale_t\fR \fIloc\fR);
! .fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBnl_langinfo()\fR function returns a pointer to a null-terminated string
containing information relevant to a particular language or cultural area
defined in the programs locale. The manifest constant names and values of
\fIitem\fR are defined by <\fBlanginfo.h\fR>. For example:
! .IP
! \fBnl_langinfo\fR(\fBABDAY_1\fR);
.LP
would return a pointer to the string "\fBDim\fR" if the identified language was
French and a French locale was correctly installed; or "\fBSun\fR" if the
identified language was English.
+ .LP
+ The function \fBnl_langinfo_l()\fR behaves identically to \fBnl_langinfo()\fR,
+ except instead of acting in the current locale, it instead acts in the locale
+ specified by \fIloc\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.LP
! If the locale has not been set or is invalid, or if data for a
supported language is either not available, or if \fIitem\fR is not defined
! therein, then these functions return a pointer to the corresponding string
! in the C locale. In all locales, they return a pointer to an
empty string if \fIitem\fR contains an invalid setting.
