In all locales, .Fn nl_langinfo returns a pointer to an empty string if .Fa item contains an invalid setting. .Sh EXAMPLES For example: .Pp .Dl nl_langinfo(ABDAY_1) .Pp would return a pointer to the string .Qq Li Dom if the identified language was Portuguese, and .Qq Li Sun if the identified language was English. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr setlocale 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn nl_langinfo function conforms to .St -susv2 . .Sh HISTORY The .Fn nl_langinfo function first appeared in .Fx 4.6 .
