22 25 .SH DESCRIPTION
23 -.sp
24 26 .LP
25 27 The \fBnl_langinfo()\fR function returns a pointer to a null-terminated string
26 28 containing information relevant to a particular language or cultural area
27 29 defined in the programs locale. The manifest constant names and values of
28 30 \fIitem\fR are defined by <\fBlanginfo.h\fR>. For example:
29 -.sp
31 +.IP
32 +\fBnl_langinfo\fR(\fBABDAY_1\fR);
30 33 .LP
31 -\fBnl_langinfo (ABDAY_1);\fR
32 -.sp
33 -.LP
34 34 would return a pointer to the string "\fBDim\fR" if the identified language was
35 35 French and a French locale was correctly installed; or "\fBSun\fR" if the
36 36 identified language was English.
37 -.sp
38 37 .LP
39 38 The function \fBnl_langinfo_l()\fR behaves identically to \fBnl_langinfo()\fR,
40 39 except instead of acting in the current locale, it instead acts in the locale
41 40 specified by \fIloc\fR.
42 41 .SH RETURN VALUES

44 42 .LP
45 -If \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) has not been called successfully, or if data for a
43 +If the locale has not been set or is invalid, or if data for a
46 44 supported language is either not available, or if \fIitem\fR is not defined
47 -therein, then \fBnl_langinfo()\fR returns a pointer to the corresponding string
48 -in the C locale. In all locales, \fBnl_langinfo()\fR returns a pointer to an
45 +therein, then these functions return a pointer to the corresponding string
46 +in the C locale. In all locales, they return a pointer to an
49 47 empty string if \fIitem\fR contains an invalid setting.
50 -.SH USAGE
51 -.sp
52 -.LP
53 -The \fBnl_langinfo()\fR function can be used safely in multithreaded
54 -applications, as long as \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) is not being called to change the
55 -locale.
