.Dd November 18, 2012 .Dt LOCALE 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm locale .Nd get locale-specific information .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl a | m .Nm .Fl k c list .Op Ar prefix .Nm .Op Fl ck .Op Ar keyword ... .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm utility is supposed to provide most locale specific information to the standard output.

p When .Nm is invoked without arguments, it will print out a summary of the current locale environment, subject to the environment settings and internal status.

p When .Nm is invoked with the .Ar keyword arguments, and no options are specified, it will print out the values of all keywords specified, using the current locale settings.

p The following options are available: l -tag -width indent t Fl a Print names of all available locales. While looking for locales, .Nm will respect the .Ev PATH_LOCALE environment variable, and use it instead of the system's default locale directory. t Fl c Print the category name for all selected keywords. If no keywords are selected, print the category name for all defined keywords. t Fl k Print the names and values of all selected keywords. If no keywords are selected, print the names and values of all defined keywords. t Fl m Print names of all available charmaps. .El .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES The special

f ( Fx specific) keyword .Cm 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. .Sh EXIT STATUS .Ex -std .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr setlocale 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Nm utility conforms to .St -p1003.1-2004 . The .Ev LC_CTYPE , .Ev LC_MESSAGES and .Ev NLSPATH environment variables are not interpreted. .Sh BUGS Since .Fx does not support .Em charmap Ns s in their .Tn POSIX meaning, .Nm emulates the .Fl m option using the CODESETs listing of all available locales.
