Under Unix however we had many many many many problems. We had to use Ansi2utf8(), repstr() and XMLval() to prevent "Invalid token" errors. And because we didn't know what the raw XML result was, it allways was a big problem to find the cause of it. (0 Replies)

locale
LOCALE(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOCALE(1)
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.
