NAME

en − Locale country convention tables

DESCRIPTION

A locale country convention table consists of newline-separated records of the form name=value, where name is the name of a variable and value is its value.  These name=value pairs specify configuration information and tailor input and output forms of dates, times, and monetary sums according to national or local requirements.  If a symbolic constant value contains spaces, the value appears in quotes.  Spaces cannot separate the equal sign from the variable or value which follows it. 

Variables

AMPMSTRAM/PM string with two colon-separated fields for suffixes to AM and PM time strings (for example, AMPMSTR=AM:PM). 

CUR_SYMThe currency symbol (for example, CUR_SYM=$). 

DEC_PNTThe radix character, or character that separates whole and fractional quantities (for example, DEC_PNT=,). 

FRAC_DIGThe number of fractional digits. 

GROUPINGThe number of digits in each group separated by the THOUS_SEP character. 

INT_CUR_SYM
International currency symbol.

INT_FRACInternational currency fraction digits. 

MON_DEC_PNT
Currency radix character (for example, MON_DEC_PNT=.). 

MON_GRPThe number of digits in each group separated by the MON_THOUS character in currency digits. 

MON_THOUS
Currency thousands separator.

NEG_SGNCurrency minus sign. 

NLDATE, NLSDATE, NLLDATE, NLDATIM, NLTIME
These variables are conversion specifications for date, short form of date, long form of date, date and time, and time strings, respectively.  Their values cannot begin with an asterisk. Consult the strftime() function for a description of valid conversion specification elements. 

NLLDAYThe full (long) names for the days of the week, beginning with Sunday. 

NLLMONTHThe full (long) names of the months of the year, beginning with January. 

NLSDAYThe short names of the days of the week.  Names should be the same length, and contain five or fewer characters.  The specification starts with the short name for Sunday. 

NLSMONTHThe short names of the months of the year.  Names should be the same length and contain five or fewer characters.  The specification starts with the short name for January. 

NLTIMEThe conversion specification for the format of the time. 

NLTMISCMiscellaneous strings needed for input of date and time specifications.  The default value is: at:each:every:on:through:am:pm:zulu. 

NLTSTRSThe relative or informal names needed for input of date and time specifications to the remind and at commands.  The default value is: now:yesterday:tomorrow:noon:midnight:next:weekdays:weekend:today. 

NLTUNITSThe singular and plural forms for all names of units of time, used for input of date specifications to the at command.  The default value is: minute:minutes:hour:hours:day:days:week:weeks:month:months:year:\
years:min:mins. 

NLYEARThe specification of eras to be used for display of the year relative to the Japanese emperor calendar.  It consists of colon-separated elements of the format YYYYMMDD, name, where YYYY represents the starting year of the era (year 1) and MMDD represents the month and day, and name is the name of the era.  If more than one element is given, they must be in reverse order.  Years B.C. must be specified with a leading minus sign.  There is no default.  Example: NLYEAR=19890108,Heisei:19261225,Showa:. 

NOSTRThe allowed forms for negative responses.  A leading or trailing colon, or two adjacent colons, indicate a null response.  The order in which the possible responses are listed has no significance. 

N_CS_PRESet to 1 if the currency symbol precedes the value for a negative formatted monetary quantity and to 0 (zero) if it succeeds the value. 

N_SEP_SPSet to 1 if the currency symbol is separated by a space from the value for a negative formatted monetary quantity and to 0 (zero) if not. 

N_SGN_POS
Set to a value indicating the positioning of the positive sign for a negative formatted monetary quantity.

POS_SGNThe positive sign. 

P_CS_PRESet to 1 if the currency symbol precedes the value for a nonnegative formatted monetary quantity and to 0 (zero) if it succeeds it. 

P_SEP_SPSet to 1 if the currency symbol is separated by a space from the value for a nonnegative formatted monetary quantity and to 0 (zero) if not. 

P_SGN_POS
Set to a value indicating the positioning of the positive sign for a nonnegative formatted monetary quantity.

THOUS_SEP
Separator for thousands place in decimal notation, where that place is determined by the GROUPING variable. 

YESSTRThe allowed forms for positive responses.  A leading or trailing colon, or two adjacent colons, indicate a null response.  The order in which the possible responses are listed has no significance.
