Description Andy Farkas 2002-04-12 11:20:01 UTC
The HISTORY section of nl_langinfo(3) says:

HISTORY
     The nl_langinfo() function first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.

Fix: 

There seems to be confusion about whether the funtion first appeared in
FreeBSD 4.4 or FreeBSD 5.0 (see cvs log). Seeing as how this is -STABLE,
it should be "first appeared in FreeBSD 4.4".
How-To-Repeat: man 3 nl_langinfo

Why 4.4?  -STABLE is currently 4.5, so did you mean that?  Either way,
the version numbers after "FreeBSD" in manual pages are assumed to be
release versions, and this function was not present in the last
release (4.5); hence it appeared (will appear) in 4.6.

-CURRENT said it appeared in 5.0 until a few minutes ago (i.e., I just
fixed it).
