This information is retrieved by nl_langinfo(3C).
The items CRNCYSTR, RADIXCHAR, and THOUSEP are extracted from the fields
currency_symbol, decimal_point, and thousands_sep in the structure
returned by localeconv(3C).
The items T_FMT, D_FMT, D_T_FMT, YESSTR, and NOSTR are retrieved from a
special message catalog named Xopen_info which should be generated for
each locale supported and installed in the appropriate directory (see
mkmsgs(1) and gettxt(3C)). 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(3C).
