nl_langinfo - Query language and locale information

SYNOPSIS

       string nl_langinfo (int	$item)

DESCRIPTION

       nl_langinfo(3)  is  used  to  access individual elements of the locale categories. Unlike localeconv(3), which returns all of the elements,
       nl_langinfo(3) allows you to select any specific element.

PARAMETERS

	      o $item
		-$item may be an integer value of the element or the constant name of the element. The following is a list of constant	names  for
		$item that may be used and their description. Some of these constants may not be defined or hold no value for certain locales.
