NAME
       validlocale - Test if a given locale is available

SYNTAX
       validlocale <locale>

DESCRIPTION
       Test  if	 the locale given as argument is a valid locale.  If it isn't,
       print on stdout the string to add to /etc/locale.gen to make locale-gen
       generate the locale (if it exists at all).

FILES
       /usr/sbin/validlocale
       /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       DEFAULTCHARSET
	      Which  charset to assume if the given locale is missing from the
	      list of supported locales.

EXAMPLES
       If you give a valid locale as parameter, it outputs a string specifying
       this on stderr:

	      % validlocale C
	      locale 'C' valid and available

       When  given a invalid (not generated or just nonexistent), it outputs a
       string on stderr telling that this is an invalid locale, and  a	string
       to stdout with the string to add to /etc/locale.gen to have this locale
       generated:

	      % validlocale de_AU@euro
	      locale 'de_AU@euro' not available
	      de_AU@euro ISO-8859-15
