NL_LANGINFO(3) BSD Library Functions Manual NL_LANGINFO(3)NAME
nl_langinfo, nl_langinfo_l -- language information
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <langinfo.h>
char *
nl_langinfo(nl_item item);
#include <langinfo.h>
#include <xlocale.h>
char *
nl_langinfo_l(nl_item item, locale_t loc);
DESCRIPTION
The nl_langinfo() function returns a pointer to a string containing information relevant to the particular language or cultural area defined
in the program's locale. The manifest constant names and values of item are defined in <langinfo.h>.
Calls to setlocale() with a category corresponding to the category of item, or to the category LC_ALL, may overwrite the buffer pointed to by
the return value.
EXAMPLES
For example:
nl_langinfo(ABDAY_1)
would return a pointer to the string "Dom" if the identified language was Portuguese, and "Sun" if the identified language was English.
While the nl_langinfo() function uses the current locale, the nl_langinfo_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for
more information.
RETURN VALUES
In a locale where langinfo data is not defined, nl_langinfo() returns a pointer to the corresponding string in the POSIX locale. In all
locales, nl_langinfo() returns a pointer to an empty string if item contains an invalid setting.
SEE ALSO setlocale(3), xlocale(3)STANDARDS
The nl_langinfo() function conforms to Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification (``SUSv2'').
HISTORY
The nl_langinfo() function first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
