This information is retrived by nllanginfo.
The items CRNCYSTR, RADIXCHAR and THOUSEP are extracted from the
fields currencysymbol, decimalpoint and thousandssep in the
structure returned by localeconv.
The items TFMT, DFMT, DTFMT, YESSTR and NOSTR are retrived from a
special message catalog named Xopeninfo 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 TFMT, DFMT, DTFMT, YESSTR and NOSTR.
All other items are as returned by strftime.
