.TH LOCALE 1 2014-03-10 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
|
||||
.SH NAME
|
||||
locale \- get locale-specific information
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.nf
|
||||
.BR locale " [OPTION]"
|
||||
.BR locale " [OPTION] \-a"
|
||||
.BR locale " [OPTION] \-m"
|
||||
.BR locale " [OPTION] NAME..."
|
||||
.fi
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B locale
|
||||
command displays information about the current locale, or all locales,
|
||||
on standard output.
|
||||
|
||||
When invoked without arguments,
|
||||
.B locale
|
||||
displays the current locale settings for each locale category (see
|
||||
.BR locale (5)),
|
||||
based on the settings of the environment variables that control the locale
|
||||
(see
|
||||
.BR locale (7)).
|
||||
|
||||
If either the
|
||||
.B \-a
|
||||
or the
|
||||
.B \-m
|
||||
option (or one of their long-format equivalents) is specified,
|
||||
the behavior is as follows:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR \-a ", " \-\-all\-locales
|
||||
Display a list of all available locales.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B -v
|
||||
option causes the
|
||||
.B LC_IDENTIFICATION
|
||||
metadata about each locale to be included in the output.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR \-m ", " \-\-charmaps
|
||||
Display the available charmaps (character set description files).
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The
|
||||
.I locale
|
||||
command can also be provided with one or more arguments,
|
||||
which are the names of locale keywords (for example,
|
||||
.IR date_fmt ,
|
||||
.IR ctype-class-names ,
|
||||
.IR yesexpr ,
|
||||
or
|
||||
.IR decimal_point )
|
||||
or locale categories (for example,
|
||||
.BR LC_CTYPE
|
||||
or
|
||||
.BR LC_TIME ).
|
||||
For each argument, the following is displayed:
|
||||
.IP * 3
|
||||
For a locale keyword, the value of that keyword to be displayed.
|
||||
.IP *
|
||||
For a locale category,
|
||||
the values of all keywords in that category are displayed.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
When arguments are supplied, the following options are meaningful:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR "\-c" ", " \-\-category\-name"
|
||||
For a category name argument,
|
||||
write the name of the locale category
|
||||
on a separate line preceding the list of keyword values for that category.
|
||||
|
||||
For a keyword name argument,
|
||||
write the name of the locale category for this keyword
|
||||
on a separate line preceding the keyword value.
|
||||
|
||||
This option improves readability when multiple name arguments are specified.
|
||||
It can be combined with the
|
||||
.B \-k
|
||||
option.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR "\-k" ", " "\-\-keyword\-name"
|
||||
For each keyword whose value is being displayed,
|
||||
include also the name of that keyword,
|
||||
so that the output has the format:
|
||||
|
||||
\fIkeyword\fP="\fIvalue\fP"
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The
|
||||
.I locale
|
||||
command also knows about the following options:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR "\-v" ", " "\-\-verbose"
|
||||
Display additional information for some command-line option and argument
|
||||
combinations.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR "\-?" ", " "\-\-help"
|
||||
Display a summary of command-line options and arguments and exit.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR "\-\-usage"
|
||||
Display a short usage message and exit.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR "\-V" ", " "\-\-version"
|
||||
Display the program version and exit.
