 langinfo(3C)                                                   langinfo(3C)





 NAME
      langinfo(), langtoid(), idtolang(), currlangid() - NLS information
      about native languages

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <langinfo.h>

      char *langinfo(int langid, nl_item item);

      int langtoid(const char *langname);

      char *idtolang(int langid);

      int currlangid(void);

 DESCRIPTION
      Note:  All functions defined on this page are obsolete.  Use of
      nl_langinfo(3C) is recommended as a replacement for langinfo().

      langinfo() returns a pointer to a null-terminated string containing
      information relevant to a particular language or cultural area defined
      in the program's locale (see setlocale(3C)).  langinfo() effectively
      calls langinit() (see nl_init(3C)) to load the program's locale
      according to the language specified by langid.  If langid or item (or
      both) is bad, langinfo() returns a pointer to a NULL string.

      currlangid() looks for a LANG string in the user's environment.  If it
      finds one, currlangid() returns the corresponding integer listed in
      lang(5).  Otherwise, it returns 0 to indicate a default to native-
      computer, the method used before NLS was available.

      idtolang() takes the integer langid and attempts to return the
      corresponding character string defined in lang(5).  If langid is not
      found, an empty string is returned.

      langtoid() is the inverse of idtolang(): it attempts to convert a
      string to a language ID, returning 0 to indicate native-computer if no
      match is found.

 EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
    Locale
      The string returned by langinfo() for a particular item is determined
      by the locale category specified for that item in langinfo(5).

    International Code Set Support
      Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

 WARNINGS
      langinfo() returns a pointer to a static area that is overwritten on
      each call.
