NAME

       locale - Get locale-specific information.

SYNOPSIS

       locale [ -a | -m]

       locale [ -ck ] name...

DESCRIPTION

       The locale program writes information about the current locale environment, or all locales, to standard output.

       When invoked without arguments, locale summarizes the current locale environment for each locale category defined by the LC_* environment
       variables.

       -a, --all-locales

	       Write names of available locales.

       -m, --charmaps

	       Write names of available charmaps.

       Output Format:

       -c, --category-name

	       Write names of selected categories.

       -k, --keyword-name

	       Write names and values of selected keywords.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       These environment variables affect each locale categories for all locale-aware programs:

       LC_CTYPE

	       Character classification and case conversion.

       LC_COLLATE

	       Collation order.

       LC_TIME

	       Date and time formats.

       LC_NUMERIC

	       Non-monetary numeric formats.

       LC_MONETARY

	       Monetary formats.

       LC_MESSAGES

	       Formats of informative and diagnostic messages and
	       interactive responses.

       LC_PAPER

	       Paper size.

       LC_NAME

	       Name formats.

	       The directory where locale data is stored.  By default, /usr/lib/locale is used.

FILES

       /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
	       List of supported values (and their associated encoding) for the locale name.  This representation is recommended over
	       --all-locales one, due being the system wide supported values.
