       unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value from the default locale is used.  If any of the internationalization vari-
       ables  contain  an  invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of the variables had been defined.  If set to a non-empty string value,
       overrides the values of all the other internationalization variables.  Determines the locale for the interpretation of sequences  of  bytes
       of  text  data  as  characters  (for example, single-byte as opposed to multibyte characters in arguments and input files).  Determines the
       locale for the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.  Determines the location of message catalogues for the
       processing of LC_MESSAGES.
