LOCALE(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOCALE(1) NAME locale -- get locale-specific information SYNOPSIS locale [-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 the current locale settings. The following options are available: -a Write names of all available locales. While looking for locales, locale will respect the PATH_LOCALE environment variable, and use it instead of the system's default locale directory. -m Write names of all available charmaps. -k Write the name and value of the selected keywords. -c Write the category name for the selected keywords. IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS Special (FreeBSD specific) keyword list can be used to retrieve human readable list of available keywords. DIAGNOSTICS The locale utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. BUGS Since FreeBSD does not support charmaps in their POSIX meaning, locale emulates the m option via CODESETs listing of all available locales. BSD June 20, 2003 BSD
