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
