LOCALE(1) BSD Reference Manual LOCALE(1)NAMElocale - get locale-specific information
SYNOPSISlocale [-a | -m]
locale [-ck] [keyword ...]
DESCRIPTION
The locale utility is supposed to provide most locale specific informa-
tion to the standard output.
When locale is invoked without arguments it will print out a summary of
the current locale environment depending on environment variable settings
and internal status.
When locale is invoked with arguments and no options specified it will
print out keyword's value determined using current locale settings.
The following options are available:
-a Write names of all available locales. On MirOS, this is hard-
coded.
-c Write the category name for the selected keywords.
-k Write the name and value of the selected keywords.
-m Write names of all available charmaps. On MirOS, this is hard-
coded.
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Special BSD-specific keyword list can be used to retrieve a human read-
able list of available keywords.
DIAGNOSTICS
The locale utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
STANDARDSlocale conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 ("POSIX").
HISTORYlocale first appeared in NetBSD 2.0. It was ported to MirOS #10.
AUTHORS
This implementation of locale was originally written by Alexey Zelkin
<phantom@FreeBSD.org> for FreeBSD.
CAVEATS
Since MirOS only implements the 'C' and "OPTU-8" locales, some items are
hard-coded.
