          CRNCYSTR    LC_MONETARY Local currency symbol, preceded by '-'
                                  if the symbol should appear before the
                                  value, '+' if the symbol should appear
                                  after the value, or '.' if the symbol
                                  should replace the radix character. If
                                  the local currency symbol is the empty
                                  string, implementations may return the
                                  empty string ( "" ).
       If  the  locale's  values  for  p_cs_precedes  and n_cs_precedes do not
       match, the value of nl_langinfo(CRNCYSTR) is unspecified.
       The following shall be declared as a function and may also  be  defined
       as a macro. A function prototype shall be provided.

              char *nl_langinfo(nl_item);
       Inclusion  of the <langinfo.h> header may also make visible all symbols
       from <nl_types.h>.
       The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
       Wherever possible, users are advised to use functions  compatible  with
       those  in  the ISO C standard to access items of langinfo data. In par-
       ticular, the strftime() function should be used to access date and time
       information  defined  in  category  LC_TIME.  The localeconv() function
       should be  used  to  access  information  corresponding  to  RADIXCHAR,
       THOUSEP, and CRNCYSTR.
RATIONALE
       None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
