NAME
locale -- get locale-specific information SYNOPSIS
locale [-a | -m] locale -k list [prefix] locale [-ck] [keyword ...] DESCRIPTION
The locale utility is supposed to provide most locale specific information to the standard output. When locale is invoked without arguments, it will print out a summary of the current locale environment, subject to the environment settings and internal status. When locale is invoked with the keyword arguments, and no options are specified, it will print out the values of all keywords specified, using the current locale settings. The following options are available: -a Print 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. -c Print the category name for all selected keywords. If no keywords are selected, print the category name for all defined keywords. -k Print the names and values of all selected keywords. If no keywords are selected, print the names and values of all defined key- words. -m Print names of all available charmaps. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The special (FreeBSD specific) keyword list can be used to retrieve the human readable list of all available keywords. If so, a prefix string can be defined to limit the amount of keywords returned. EXIT STATUS
The locale utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
setlocale(3) STANDARDS
The locale utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 (``POSIX.1''). The LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES and NLSPATH environment variables are not interpreted. BUGS
Since FreeBSD does not support charmaps in their POSIX meaning, locale emulates the -m option using the CODESETs listing of all available locales. BSD

NAME
locale -- get locale-specific information SYNOPSIS
locale [-a | -m] locale [-ck] [keyword ...] DESCRIPTION
The locale utility is supposed to provide most locale specific information 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 set- tings and internal status. When locale is invoked with arguments and no options specified it will print out keyword's value determined using 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 default locale directory. -c Write the category name for the selected keywords. -k Write the name and value of the selected keywords. -m Write names of all available charmaps. IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Special (FreeBSD- / NetBSD-specific) keyword list can be used to retrieve a human readable list of available keywords. DIAGNOSTICS
The locale utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. STANDARDS
locale conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). HISTORY
locale first appeared in NetBSD 2.0. AUTHORS
This implementation of locale was originally written by Alexey Zelkin <phantom@FreeBSD.org> for FreeBSD. BUGS
Since NetBSD does not support charmaps in their POSIX meaning locale emulates the -m option via CODESETs listing of all available locales. BSD
