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); char * nl_langinfo_l(nl_item item, locale_t loc); DESCRIPTION The nl_langinfo() function returns a pointer to a string containing in- formation relevant to the particular language or cultural area defined in the program or thread's locale, or in the case of nl_langinfo_l(), the locale passed as the second argument. 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. nl_langinfo_l() returns the same values as nl_langinfo(). 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"). The nl_langinfo_l() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 ("POSIX.1"). HISTORY The nl_langinfo() function first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6. BSD July 30, 2012 BSD
