-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR nl_langinfo ()
-and
-.BR nl_langinfo_l ()
-functions provide access to locale information
-in a more flexible way than
-.BR localeconv (3).
-.BR nl_langinfo ()
-returns a string which is the value corresponding to
-\fIitem\fP in the program's current global
-locale.
-.BR nl_langinfo_l ()
-returns a string which is the value corresponding to \fIitem\fP
-for the locale identified by the locale object \fIlocale\fP,
-which was previously created by
-.BR newlocale (3).
-Individual and additional elements of the locale categories can
-be queried.
-.P
-Examples for the locale elements that can be specified in \fIitem\fP
-using the constants defined in \fI<langinfo.h>\fP are:
-.TP
-.BR CODESET \ (LC_CTYPE)
-Return a string with the name of the character encoding used in the
-selected locale, such as "UTF\-8", "ISO\-8859\-1", or "ANSI_X3.4\-1968"
-(better known as US-ASCII).
-This is the same string that you get with
-"locale charmap".
-For a list of character encoding names,
-try "locale \-m" (see
-.BR locale (1)).
-.TP
-.BR D_T_FMT \ (LC_TIME)
-Return a string that can be used as a format string for
-.BR strftime (3)
-to represent time and date in a locale-specific way
-.RB ( %c
-conversion specification).
-.TP
-.BR D_FMT \ (LC_TIME)
-Return a string that can be used as a format string for
-.BR strftime (3)
-to represent a date in a locale-specific way
-.RB ( %x
-conversion specification).
-.TP
-.BR T_FMT \ (LC_TIME)
-Return a string that can be used as a format string for
-.BR strftime (3)
-to represent a time in a locale-specific way
-.RB ( %X
-conversion specification).
-.TP
-.BR AM_STR \ (LC_TIME)
-Return a string that represents affix for ante meridiem (before noon, "AM")
-time.
-(Used in
-.B %p
-.BR strftime (3)
-conversion specification.)
-.TP
-.BR PM_STR \ (LC_TIME)
-Return a string that represents affix for post meridiem (before midnight, "PM")
-time.
-(Used in
-.B %p
-.BR strftime (3)
-conversion specification.)
-.TP
-.BR T_FMT_AMPM \ (LC_TIME)
-Return a string that can be used as a format string for
-.BR strftime (3)
-to represent a time in a.m. or p.m. notation in a locale-specific way
-.RB ( %r
-conversion specification).
-.TP
-.BR ERA \ (LC_TIME)
-Return era description, which contains information about how years are counted
-and displayed for each era in a locale.
-Each era description segment shall have the format:
-.RS
-.IP
-.IR direction : offset : start_date : end_date : era_name : era_format
-.RE
-.IP
-according to the definitions below:
-.RS
-.TP 12
-.I direction
-Either a
-.RB \[dq] + "\[dq] or a \[dq]" - \[dq]
-character.
-The
-.RB \[dq] + \[dq]
-means that years increase from the
-.I start_date
-towards the
-.IR end_date ,
-.RB \[dq] - \[dq]
-means the opposite.
-.TP
-.I offset
-The epoch year of the
-.IR start_date .
-.TP
-.I start_date
-A date in the form
-.IR yyyy / mm / dd ,
-where
-.IR yyyy ", " mm ", and " dd
-are the year, month, and day numbers respectively of the start of the era.
-.TP
-.I end_date
-The ending date of the era, in the same format as the
-.IR start_date ,
-or one of the two special values
-.RB \[dq] -* \[dq]
-(minus infinity) or
-.RB \[dq] +* \[dq]
-(plus infinity).
-.TP
-.I era_name
-The name of the era, corresponding to the
-.B %EC
-.BR strftime (3)
-conversion specification.
-.TP
-.I era_format
-The format of the year in the era, corresponding to the
-.B %EY
-.BR strftime (3)
-conversion specification.
-.RE
-.IP
-Era description segments are separated by semicolons.
-Most locales do not define this value.
-Examples of locales that do define this value are the Japanese and Thai
-locales.
-.TP
-.BR ERA_D_T_FMT \ (LC_TIME)
-Return a string that can be used as a format string for
-.BR strftime (3)
-for alternative representation of time and date in a locale-specific way
-.RB ( %Ec
-conversion specification).
-.TP
-.BR ERA_D_FMT \ (LC_TIME)
-Return a string that can be used as a format string for
-.BR strftime (3)
-for alternative representation of a date in a locale-specific way
-.RB ( %Ex
-conversion specification).
-.TP
-.BR ERA_T_FMT \ (LC_TIME)
-Return a string that can be used as a format string for
-.BR strftime (3)
-for alternative representation of a time in a locale-specific way
-.RB ( %EX
-conversion specification).
-.TP
-.BR DAY_ "{1\[en]7} (LC_TIME)"
-Return name of the \fIn\fP-th day of the week.
-[Warning: this follows
-the US convention DAY_1 = Sunday, not the international convention
-(ISO\~8601) that Monday is the first day of the week.]
-(Used in
-.B %A
-.BR strftime (3)
-conversion specification.)
-.TP
-.BR ABDAY_ "{1\[en]7} (LC_TIME)"
-Return abbreviated name of the \fIn\fP-th day of the week.
-(Used in
-.B %a
-.BR strftime (3)
-conversion specification.)
-.TP
-.BR MON_ "{1\[en]12} (LC_TIME)"
-Return name of the \fIn\fP-th month.

-.B %B
-.BR strftime (3)
-conversion specification.)
-.TP
-.BR ABMON_ "{1\[en]12} (LC_TIME)"
-Return abbreviated name of the \fIn\fP-th month.
-(Used in
-.B %b
-.BR strftime (3)

-.TP
-.BR RADIXCHAR \ (LC_NUMERIC)

-.TP
-.BR THOUSEP \ (LC_NUMERIC)
-Return separator character for thousands (groups of three digits).

-function to recognize a negative response to a yes/no question.
-.TP
-.BR CRNCYSTR \ (LC_MONETARY)
-Return the currency symbol, preceded by "\-" if the symbol should
-appear before the value, "+" if the symbol should appear after the
-value, or "." if the symbol should replace the radix character.
-.P
-The above list covers just some examples of items that can be requested.
-For a more detailed list, consult
-.IR "The GNU C Library Reference Manual" .
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, these functions return a pointer to a string which
-is the value corresponding to
-.I item
-in the specified locale.
-.P
-If no locale has been selected by
-.BR setlocale (3)
-for the appropriate category,
-.BR nl_langinfo ()
-return a pointer to the corresponding string in the "C" locale.
-The same is true of
-.BR nl_langinfo_l ()
-if
-.I locale
-specifies a locale where
-.I langinfo
-data is not defined.
-.P
-If \fIitem\fP is not valid, a pointer to an empty string is returned.
-.P
-The pointer returned by these functions may point to static data that
-may be overwritten, or the pointer itself may be invalidated,
-by a subsequent call to
-.BR nl_langinfo (),
-.BR nl_langinfo_l (),
-or
-.BR setlocale (3).
-The same statements apply to
-.BR nl_langinfo_l ()
-if the locale object referred to by
-.I locale
-is freed or modified by
-.BR freelocale (3)
-or
-.BR newlocale (3).
-.P
-POSIX specifies that the application may not modify
-the string returned by these functions.
