locale
LOCALE(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOCALE(1)
NAME
locale -- display locale settings
SYNOPSIS
locale [-a|m]
locale [-ck] name [...]
DESCRIPTION
locale displays information about the current locale, or a list of all available locales.
When locale is run with no arguments, it will display the current source of each locale category.
When locale is given the name of a category, it acts as if it had been given each keyword in that category. For each keyword it is given,
the current value is displayed.
OPTIONS
-a Lists all public locales.
-c name ...
Lists the category name before each keyword, unless it is the same category as the previously displayed keyword.
-k name ...
Displays the name of each keyword prior to its value.
-m Lists all available public charmaps. Darwin locales do not support charmaps, so list all CODESETs instead.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
name is the name of a keyword or category to display. A list of all keywords and categories can be shown with the following command:
locale -ck LC_ALL
ENVIRONMENT
LANG Used as a substitute for any unset LC_* variable. If LANG is unset, it will act as if set to "C". If any of LANG or LC_* are
set to invalid values, locale acts as if they are all unset.
LC_ALL Will override the setting of all other LC_* variables.
LC_COLLATE Sets the locale for the LC_COLLATE category.
LC_CTYPE Sets the locale for the LC_CTYPE category.
LC_MESSAGES Sets the locale for the LC_MESSAGES category.
LC_MONETARY Sets the locale for the LC_MONETARY category.
LC_NUMERIC Sets the locale for the LC_NUMERIC category.
LC_TIME Sets the locale for the LC_TIME category.
SEE ALSO

STANDARDS
The locale utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
