nl_langinfo()

char* nl_langinfo

(

nl_item

item

)

The nl_langinfo function can be used to access individual elements of the locale categories.

Unlike the localeconv function, which returns all the information, nl_langinfo lets the caller select what information it requires. This is very fast and it is not a problem to call this function multiple times.

A second advantage is that in addition to the numeric and monetary formatting information, information from the LC_TIME and LC_MESSAGES categories is available.

The type item is defined in nl_types.h. The argument item is a numeric value defined in this header.
