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. .SH ATTRIBUTES .LP See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: .TS box; c | c l | l . ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE _ CSI Enabled _ Interface Stability Standard _ MT-Level MT-Safe .TE .SH SEE ALSO .LP \fBnewlocale\fR(3C), \fBsetlocale\fR(3C), \fBuselocale\fR(3C), \fBlanginfo.h\fR(3HEAD), \fBnl_types.h\fR(3HEAD), \fBattributes\fR(5), \fBstandards\fR(5) .SH WARNINGS .LP The array pointed to by the return value should not be modified by the program. Subsequent calls to these functions may overwrite the array.
