NAME
localedef - compile locale definition files
SYNOPSIS
localedef [-f charmapfile] [-i inputfile] [--force] [--verbose] [--posix] [--quiet]
outputpath
localedef --version
localedef --help
DESCRIPTION
The localedef program reads the indicated charmap and input files, compiles them to
a form usable by the locale(7) functions in the C library, and places the six out-
put files in the outputpath directory.
If no charmapfile is given, POSIX is used by default. If no inputfile is given, or
if it is given as -, localedef reads from standard input.
OPTIONS
Most options can have either short or long forms. If multiple short options are
used, they can be combined in one word (e.g. -cv). If an option takes an argu-
ment, the argument can be given separately as the next word, or it can be written
as option=argument.
-f charmapfile, --charmap=charmapfile
Specify the file that defines the symbolic character names that are used by
the input file. If the file is in the default directory for character maps,
it is not necessary to specify the full pathname. This default directory is
printed by localedef --help.
-i inputfile, --inputfile=inputfile
Specify the locale definition file to compile. If inputfile is not abso-
lute, localedef will also look in the directory specified by the environment
variable I18NPATH and in the default directory for locale definition files.
This default directory is printed by localedef --help.
-c, --force
Write the output files even if warnings were generated about the input file.
-v, --verbose
Generate extra warnings about errors that are normally ignored.
--quiet
Suppress all notifications and warnings, and report only fatal errors.
--posix
Be strictly POSIX conformant. Implies --verbose. This option currently has
no other effect. Posix conformance is assumed if the environment variable
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
-u codeset, --code-set-name=codeset
This option is accepted but ignored.
-h, --help
Print a usage summary and exit. Also prints the default paths used by
localedef.
-V, --version
Print the version number, license, and disclaimer of warranty for localedef.
ENVIRONMENT
POSIXLY_CORRECT
The --posix flag is assumed if this environment variable is set.
I18NPATH
The default directory for locale definition files.
FILES
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps
Usual default charmap path.
/usr/share/locale
Usual default output path. See the output from localedef --help for the
paths used in your version.
outputpath/LC_COLLATE
One of the output files. It describes the rules for comparing strings in
the locale’s alphabet.
outputpath/LC_CTYPE
One of the output files. It contains information about character cases and
case conversions for the locale.
outputpath/LC_MONETARY
One of the output files. It describes the way monetary values should be
formatted in the locale.
outputpath/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES
One of the output files. It contains information about the language mes-
sages should be printed in, and what an affirmative or negative answer looks
like.
outputpath/LC_NUMERIC
One of the output files. It describes the rules for formatting numbers in
the locale.
outputpath/LC_TIME
One of the output files. It describes the rules for formatting times and
dates in the locale.
