This information is retrived by nl_langinfo. The items CRNCYSTR, RADIXCHAR and THOUSEP are extracted from the fields currency_symbol, decimal_point and thousands_sep in the structure returned by localeconv.

The items T_FMT, D_FMT, D_T_FMT, YESSTR and NOSTR are retrived from a special message catalog named Xopen_info which should be generated for each locale supported and installed in the appropriate directory [see gettxt(3C) and mkmsgs(1M)]. This catalog should have the messages in the order T_FMT, D_FMT, D_T_FMT, YESSTR and NOSTR.

All other items are as returned by strftime.
