5 5 NAME
6 6 localedef - define locale environment
7 7
8 8 SYNOPSIS
9 9 localedef [-c] [-v] [-U] [-f charmap]
10 10 [-w widthfile] [-i sourcefile]
11 11 [-u code_set_name] localename
12 12

14 14 DESCRIPTION
15 15 The localedef utility converts source definitions for locale categories
16 16 into a format usable by the functions and utilities whose operational
17 17 behavior is determined by the setting of the locale environment
18 18 variables; see environ(5).
19 19
20 20
21 21 The utility reads source definitions for one or more locale categories
22 22 belonging to the same locale from the file named in the -i option (if
23 23 specified) or from standard input.
24 24
25 25
26 26 Each category source definition is identified by the corresponding
27 27 environment variable name and terminated by an END category-name
28 28 statement. The following categories are supported.
29 29
30 30 LC_CTYPE
31 31 Defines character classification and case conversion.
32 32
33 33
34 34 LC_COLLATE
35 35 Defines collation rules.
36 36
37 37
38 38 LC_MONETARY
39 39 Defines the format and symbols used in formatting of
40 40 monetary information.
41 41
42 42
43 43 LC_NUMERIC
44 44 Defines the decimal delimiter, grouping and grouping
45 45 symbol for non-monetary numeric editing.
46 46
47 47
48 48 LC_TIME
49 49 Defines the format and content of date and time
50 50 information.
51 51
52 52
53 53 LC_MESSAGES
54 54 Defines the format and values of affirmative and
55 55 negative responses.
56 56
57 57
58 58 OPTIONS
59 59 The following options are supported:
60 60
61 61 -c
62 62 Creates permanent output even if warning
63 63 messages have been issued.
64 64
65 65
66 66 -v
67 67 Emit verbose debugging output on standard
68 68 output.
69 69
70 70
71 71 -U
72 72 Ignore the presence of character symbols that
73 73 have no matching character definition. This
74 74 facilitates the use of a common locale
75 75 definition file to be used across multiple
76 76 encodings, even when some symbols are not
77 77 present in a given encoding.
78 78
79 79 Support for this option is an illumos extension.
80 80
81 81
82 82 -f charmap
83 83 Specifies the pathname of a file containing a
84 84 mapping of character symbols and collating
85 85 element symbols to actual character encodings.
86 86 This option must be specified if symbolic names
87 87 (other than collating symbols defined in a
88 88 collating-symbol keyword) are used. If the -f
89 89 option is not present, the default character
90 90 mapping will be used.
91 91
92 92
93 93 -w widthfile
94 94 The path name of the file containing character
95 95 screen width definitions. If not supplied, then
96 96 default screen widths will be assumed, which
97 97 will generally not account for East Asian
98 98 encodings requiring more than a single character
99 99 cell to display, nor for combining or accent
100 100 marks that occupy no additional screen width.
101 101
102 102 The support for width files is an illumos
103 103 extension.
104 104
105 105
106 106 -i sourcefile
107 107 The path name of a file containing the source
108 108 definitions. If this option is not present,
109 109 source definitions will be read from standard
110 110 input.
111 111
112 112
113 113 -u code_set_name
114 114 Specifies the name of a codeset used as the
115 115 target mapping of character symbols and
116 116 collating element symbols whose encoding values
117 117 are defined in terms of the ISO/IEC 10646-1:
118 118 2000 standard position constant values. See
119 119 NOTES.
120 120
121 121
122 122 OPERANDS
123 123 The following operand is supported:
124 124
125 125 localename
126 126 Identifies the locale. If the name contains one or more
127 127 slash characters, localename will be interpreted as a
|

↑ open up ↑ |
128 128 path name where the created locale definitions will be
129 129 stored. This capability may be restricted to users with
130 130 appropriate privileges. (As a consequence of specifying
131 131 one localename, although several categories can be
132 132 processed in one execution, only categories belonging to
133 133 the same locale can be processed.)
134 134
135 135
136 136 OUTPUT
137 137 localedef creates a directory of files that represents the locale's
138 - data. The contants of this directory should generally be copied into
138 + data. The contents of this directory should generally be copied into
139 139 the appropriate subdirectory of /usr/lib/locale in order the
140 140 definitions to be visible to programs linked with libc.
141 141
142 142
143 143 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
144 144 See environ(5) for definitions of the following environment variables
145 145 that affect the execution of localedef: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE,
146 146 LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
147 147
148 148 EXIT STATUS
149 149 The following exit values are returned:
150 150
151 151 0
152 152 No errors occurred and the locales were successfully created.
153 153
154 154
155 155 1
156 156 Warnings occurred and the locales were successfully created.
157 157
158 158
159 159 2
160 160 The locale specification exceeded implementation limits or the
161 161 coded character set or sets used were not supported by the
162 162 implementation, and no locale was created.
163 163
164 164
165 165 >3
166 166 Warnings or errors occurred and no output was created.
167 167
168 168
169 169
170 170 If an error is detected, no permanent output will be created.
171 171
172 172 FILES
173 173 /usr/lib/locale/localename/
174 174
175 175 The directory containing locale data.

194 194
195 195 WARNINGS
196 196 If warnings occur, permanent output will be created if the -c option
197 197 was specified. The following conditions will cause warning messages to
198 198 be issued:
199 199
200 200 o If a symbolic name not found in the charmap file is used for
201 201 the descriptions of the LC_CTYPE or LC_COLLATE categories
202 202 (for other categories, this will be an error condition).
203 203
204 204 o If optional keywords not supported by the implementation are
205 205 present in the source.
206 206
207 207 NOTES
208 208 When the -u option is used, the code_set_name option-argument is
209 209 interpreted as a name of a codeset to which the ISO/IEC 10646-1: 2000
210 210 standard position constant values are converted. Both the ISO/IEC
211 211 10646-1: 2000 standard position constant values and other formats
212 212 (decimal, hexadecimal, or octal) are valid as encoding values within
213 213 the charmap file. The codeset can be any codeset that is supported by
214 214 the iconv_open(3C) function on the system.
215 215
216 216
217 217 When conflicts occur between the charmap specification of
218 218 code_set_name, mb_cur_max, or mb_cur_min and the corresponding value
219 219 for the codeset represented by the -u option-argument code_set_name,
220 220 the localedef utility fails as an error.
221 221
222 222
223 223 When conflicts occur between the charmap encoding values specified for
224 224 symbolic names of characters of the portable character set and the
225 225 character encoding values defined by the US-ASCII, the result is
226 226 unspecified.
