NAME
       org.freedesktop.locale1 - The D-Bus interface of systemd-localed

INTRODUCTION
       systemd-localed.service(8) is a system service that can be used to control the system
       locale and keyboard mapping from user programs. This page describes the D-Bus interface.

THE D-BUS API
       The service exposes the following interfaces on the bus:

           node /org/freedesktop/locale1 {
             interface org.freedesktop.locale1 {
               methods:
                 SetLocale(in  as locale,
                           in  b interactive);
                 SetVConsoleKeyboard(in  s keymap,
                                     in  s keymap_toggle,
                                     in  b convert,
                                     in  b interactive);
                 SetX11Keyboard(in  s layout,
                                in  s model,
                                in  s variant,
                                in  s options,
                                in  b convert,
                                in  b interactive);
               properties:
                 readonly as Locale = ['...', ...];
                 readonly s X11Layout = '...';
                 readonly s X11Model = '...';
                 readonly s X11Variant = '...';
                 readonly s X11Options = '...';
                 readonly s VConsoleKeymap = '...';
                 readonly s VConsoleKeymapToggle = '...';
             };
             interface org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer { ... };
             interface org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable { ... };
             interface org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties { ... };
           };

   Methods
       If you set a new system locale all old system locale settings will be dropped and the new
       settings will be saved to disk. The locale will also be passed to the system manager, and
       subsequently started daemons will inherit the new system locale. Note that already running
       daemons will not learn about the new value.

       The SetVConsoleKeyboard() method may be used to set the key mapping for the virtual
       console. Similarly, SetX11Keyboard() may be used to set the default key mapping of any X11
       servers.

       Note that SetVConsoleKeyboard() instantly applies the new key mapping to the console,
       while SetX11Keyboard() simply sets a default that may be used by later sessions.

       The boolean argument convert may be set to optionally convert the console keyboard
       configuration to X11 keyboard mappings and vice versa. If true and SetVConsoleKeyboard()
       is used, the nearest X11 keyboard setting for the chosen console setting is set. If true
       and SetX11Keyboard() is used, the nearest console keyboard setting for the chosen X11
       setting is set. Hence, it is usually sufficient to call only one of the two functions.

       For graphical UIs that need to set the system keyboard mapping simply invoke
       SetX11Keyboard(), set convert=true and ignore SetVConsoleKeyboard().

       Use the empty string for the keymap parameters you wish not to set.

       The interactive boolean parameters can be used to control whether polkit[1] should
       interactively ask the user for authentication credentials if required.

   Signals
       Whenever the system locale or keymap is changed via the daemon, PropertyChanged signals
       are sent out to which clients can subscribe.

   Properties
       The system locale is shown in the Locale property. It is an array containing
       environment-variable-assignment-like strings. The following strings are known: LANG=,
       LC_CTYPE=, LC_NUMERIC=, LC_TIME=, LC_COLLATE=, LC_MONETARY=, LC_MESSAGES=, LC_PAPER=,
       LC_NAME=, LC_ADDRESS=, LC_TELEPHONE=, LC_MEASUREMENT=, LC_IDENTIFICATION=.

       The X11Layout, X11Model, X11Variant, and X11Options properties show values configurable
       with SetX11Keyboard() described above (or SetVConsoleKeyboard() with convert=true). The
       VConsoleKeymap and VConsoleKeymapToggle properties show values configurable with
       SetVConsoleKeyboard() (or SetX11Keyboard() with convert=true).

   Security
       Changing the system locale or keymap using this interface is authenticated via polkit. The
       polkit action for SetLocale() is org.freedesktop.locale1.set-locale. The polkit action for
       SetX11Keyboard() and SetVConsoleKeyboard() is org.freedesktop.locale1.set-keyboard.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1. Introspect org.freedesktop.locale1 on the bus

           $ gdbus introspect --system \
             --dest org.freedesktop.locale1 \
             --object-path /org/freedesktop/locale1

VERSIONING
       These D-Bus interfaces follow the usual interface versioning guidelines[2].
