.TH REPERTOIREMAP 5 2020-06-09 "GNU" "Linux User Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
repertoiremap \- map symbolic character names to Unicode code points
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
A repertoire map defines mappings between symbolic character names
|
|
(mnemonics) and Unicode code points when compiling a locale with
|
|
.BR localedef (1).
|
|
Using a repertoire map is optional, it is needed only when symbolic
|
|
names are used instead of now preferred Unicode code points.
|
|
.SS Syntax
|
|
The repertoiremap file starts with a header that may consist of the
|
|
following keywords:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I comment_char
|
|
is followed by a character that will be used as the
|
|
comment character for the rest of the file.
|
|
It defaults to the number sign (#).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I escape_char
|
|
is followed by a character that should be used as the escape character
|
|
for the rest of the file to mark characters that should be interpreted
|
|
in a special way.
|
|
It defaults to the backslash (\e).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The mapping section starts with the keyword
|
|
.I CHARIDS
|
|
in the first column.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The mapping lines have the following form:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I <symbolic-name> <code-point> comment
|
|
This defines exactly one mapping,
|
|
.I comment
|
|
being optional.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The mapping section ends with the string
|
|
.IR "END CHARIDS" .
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I /usr/share/i18n/repertoiremaps
|
|
Usual default repertoire map path.
|
|
.SH CONFORMING TO
|
|
POSIX.2.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Repertoire maps are deprecated in favor of Unicode code points.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
A mnemonic for the Euro sign can be defined as follows:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
<Eu> <U20AC> EURO SIGN
|
|
