LOCALEDEF !!!LOCALEDEF NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS ENVIRONMENT FILES SEE ALSO AUTHOR STANDARDS ---- !!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 output 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 argument, 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 absolute, __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 messages 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. ''outputpath/''__LC_PAPER__ One of the output files. It describes the default paper size in the locale. ''outputpath/''__LC_NAME__ One of the output files. It describes the rules for formatting names in the locale. ''outputpath/''__LC_ADDRESS__ One of the output files. It describes the rules for formatting addresses, and other location information in the locale. ''outputpath/''__LC_TELEPHONE__ One of the output files. It describes the rules for formatting telephone numbers in the locale. ''outputpath/''__LC_MEASUREMENT__ One of the output files. It describes the rules for measurement in the locale, e.g. Metric or other units. ''outputpath/''__LC_IDENTIFICATION__ One of the output files. It identifies the elements within the locale. !!SEE ALSO locale(5), locale(7), locale(1) !!AUTHOR The program was written by Ulrich Drepper.
