16 localedef - compile locale definition files
17 !!SYNOPSIS
18
19
20 __localedef__ [[__-f__ ''charmapfile''] [[__-i__
21 ''inputfile''] [[__--force__] [[__--verbose__]
22 [[__--posix__] [[__--quiet__] ''outputpath''__
23 localedef --version
24 localedef --help__
25 !!DESCRIPTION
26
27
28 The __localedef__ program reads the indicated
29 ''charmap'' and ''input'' files, compiles them to a
30 form usable by the locale(7) functions in the C
31 library, and places the six output files in the
32 ''outputpath'' directory.
33
34
35 If no ''charmapfile'' is given, ''POSIX'' is used by
36 default. If no ''inputfile'' is given, or if it is given
37 as __-__, __localedef__ reads from standard
38 input.
39 !!OPTIONS
40
41
42 Most options can have either short or long forms. If
43 multiple short options are used, they can be combined in one
44 word (e.g. __-cv__). If an option takes an argument, the
45 argument can be given separately as the next word, or it can
46 be written as option=argument.
47
48
49 __-f__ ''charmapfile''__,
50 --charmap=__''charmapfile''
51
52
53 Specify the file that defines the symbolic character names
54 that are used by the input file. If the file is in the
55 default directory for character maps, it is not necessary to
56 specify the full pathname. This default directory is printed
57 by __localedef --help__.
58
59
60 __-i__ ''inputfile''__,
61 --inputfile=__''inputfile''
62
63
64 Specify the locale definition file to compile. If
65 ''inputfile'' is not absolute, __localedef__ will also
66 look in the directory specified by the environment variable
67 __I18NPATH__ and in the default directory for locale
68 definition files. This default directory is printed by
69 __localedef --help__.
70
71
72 __-c, --force__
73
74
75 Write the output files even if warnings were generated about
76 the input file.
77
78
79 __-v, --verbose__
80
81
82 Generate extra warnings about errors that are normally
83 ignored.
84
85
86 __--quiet__
87
88
89 Suppress all notifications and warnings, and report only
90 fatal errors.
91
92
93 __--posix__
94
95
96 Be strictly POSIX conformant. Implies __--verbose__. This
97 option currently has no other effect. Posix conformance is
98 assumed if the environment variable __POSIXLY_CORRECT__
99 is set.
100
101
102 __-u__ ''codeset''__,
103 --code-set-name=__''codeset''
104
105
106 This option is accepted but ignored.
107
108
109 __-h, --help__
110
111
112 Print a usage summary and exit. Also prints the default
113 paths used by __localedef__.
114
115
116 __-V, --version__
117
118
119 Print the version number, license, and disclaimer of
120 warranty for __localedef__.
121 !!ENVIRONMENT
122
123
124 __POSIXLY_CORRECT__
125
126
127 The __--posix__ flag is assumed if this environment
128 variable is set.
