<h4><a name="tag_13_22_04"></a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4>

<blockquote>
<p>Wherever possible, users are advised to use functions compatible with those in the ISO&nbsp;C standard to access items of
<i>langinfo</i> data. In particular, the <a href="../functions/strftime.html"><i>strftime</i>()</a> function should be used to
access date and time information defined in category <i>LC_TIME .</i> The <a href=
"../functions/localeconv.html"><i>localeconv</i>()</a> function should be used to access information corresponding to RADIXCHAR,
THOUSEP, and CRNCYSTR.</p>

<h4><a name="tag_13_22_05"></a>RATIONALE</h4>

<blockquote>
<p>None.</p>
</blockquote>

<h4><a name="tag_13_22_06"></a>FUTURE DIRECTIONS</h4>

<h4><a name="tag_13_22_09"></a>Issue 5</h4>

<blockquote>
<p>The constants YESSTR and NOSTR are marked LEGACY.</p>
</blockquote>

<h4><a name="tag_13_22_10"></a>Issue 6</h4>

<blockquote>
<p>The constants YESSTR and NOSTR are removed.</p>

<p>IEEE&nbsp;Std 1003.1-2001/Cor&nbsp;1-2002, item XBD/TC1/D6/9 is applied, adding a sentence to the``Meaning'' column entry for
the CRNCYSTR constant. This change is to accommodate historic practice.</p>
