NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\n

localedef \u2014 define locale environment<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

localedef [<\/b>-c] [<\/b>-f charmap<\/i>] [<\/b>-i sourcefile<\/i>] [<\/b>-u code_set_name<\/i>]<\/b> name<\/i><\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The localedef<\/i> utility shall convert source definitions for locale categories into a format usable by the functions and utilities whose operational behavior is determined by the setting of the locale environment variables defined in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Chapter 7<\/i>, Locale<\/i>. It is implementation-defined whether users have the capability to create new locales, in addition to those supplied by the implementation. If the symbolic constant POSIX2_LOCALEDEF is defined, the system supports the creation of new locales. On XSI-conformant systems, the symbolic constant POSIX2_LOCALEDEF shall be defined.<\/p>\n

The utility shall read source definitions for one or more locale categories belonging to the same locale from the file named in the \u2212i<\/b> option (if specified) or from standard input.<\/p>\n

The name<\/i> operand identifies the target locale. The utility shall support the creation of public<\/i>, or generally accessible locales, as well as private<\/i>, or restricted-access locales. Implementations may restrict the capability to create or modify public locales to users with appropriate privileges.<\/p>\n

Each category source definition shall be identified by the corresponding environment variable name and terminated by an END<\/b> category-name<\/i> statement. The following categories shall be supported. In addition, the input may contain source for implementation-defined categories.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

LC_CTYPE<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Defines character classification and case conversion.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

LC_COLLATE<\/i><\/p>\n

Defines collation rules.<\/p>\n

LC_MONETARY<\/i><\/p>\n

Defines the format and symbols used in formatting of monetary information.<\/p>\n

LC_NUMERIC<\/i><\/p>\n

Defines the decimal delimiter, grouping, and grouping symbol for non-monetary numeric editing.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

LC_TIME<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Defines the format and content of date and time information.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

LC_MESSAGES<\/i><\/p>\n

Defines the format and values of affirmative and negative responses.<\/p>\n

OPTIONS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The localedef<\/i> utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Section 12.2<\/i>, Utility Syntax Guidelines<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The following options shall be supported:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

\u2212c<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Create permanent output even if warning messages have been issued.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\u2212f\u00a0<\/b>charmap<\/i><\/p>\n

Specify the pathname of a file containing a mapping of character symbols and collating element symbols to actual character encodings. The format of the charmap<\/i> is described in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Section 6.4<\/i>, Character Set Description File<\/i>. The application shall ensure that this option is specified if symbolic names (other than collating symbols defined in a collating-symbol<\/b> keyword) are used. If the \u2212f<\/b> option is not present, an implementation-defined character mapping shall be used.<\/p>\n

\u2212i\u00a0<\/b>inputfile<\/i><\/p>\n

The pathname of a file containing the source definitions. If this option is not present, source definitions shall be read from standard input. The format of the inputfile<\/i> is described in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Section 7.3<\/i>, Locale Definition<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u2212u\u00a0<\/b>code_set_name<\/i><\/p>\n

Specify the name of a codeset used as the target mapping of character symbols and collating element symbols whose encoding values are defined in terms of the ISO\/IEC\u00a010646-1:2000 standard position constant values.<\/p>\n

OPERANDS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The following operand shall be supported:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

name<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Identifies the locale; see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Chapter 7<\/i>, Locale<\/i> for a description of the use of this name. If the name contains one or more characters, name<\/i> shall be interpreted as a pathname where the created locale definitions shall be stored. If name<\/i> does not contain any characters, the interpretation of the name is implementation-defined and the locale shall be public. The ability to create public locales in this way may be restricted to users with appropriate privileges. (As a consequence of specifying one name<\/i>, although several categories can be processed in one execution, only categories belonging to the same locale can be processed.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

STDIN <\/a> <\/h2>\n

Unless the \u2212i<\/b> option is specified, the standard input shall be a text file containing one or more locale category source definitions, as described in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Section 7.3<\/i>, Locale Definition<\/i>. When lines are continued using the escape character mechanism, there is no limit to the length of the accumulated continued line.<\/p>\n

INPUT FILES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The character set mapping file specified as the charmap<\/i> option-argument is described in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Section 6.4<\/i>, Character Set Description File<\/i>. If a locale category source definition contains a copy<\/b> statement, as defined in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Chapter 7<\/i>, Locale<\/i>, and the copy<\/b> statement names a valid, existing locale, then localedef<\/i> shall behave as if the source definition had contained a valid category source definition for the named locale.<\/p>\n

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The following environment variables shall affect the execution of localedef<\/i>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

LANG<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Section 8.2<\/i>, Internationalization Variables<\/i> for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the values of locale categories.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

LC_ALL<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

LC_COLLATE<\/i><\/p>\n

(This variable has no affect on localedef<\/i>; the POSIX locale is used for this category.)<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

LC_CTYPE<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files). This variable has no affect on the processing of localedef<\/i> input data; the POSIX locale is used for this purpose, regardless of the value of this variable.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

LC_MESSAGES<\/i><\/p>\n

Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

NLSPATH<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

Default.<\/p>\n

STDOUT <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The utility shall report all categories successfully processed, in an unspecified format.<\/p>\n

STDERR <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.<\/p>\n

OUTPUT FILES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The format of the created output is unspecified. If the name<\/i> operand does not contain a , the existence of an output file for the locale is unspecified.<\/p>\n

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

When the \u2212u<\/b> option is used, the code_set_name<\/i> option-argument shall be interpreted as an implementation-defined name of a codeset to which the ISO\/IEC\u00a010646-1:2000 standard position constant values shall be converted via an implementation-defined method. Both the ISO\/IEC\u00a010646-1:2000 standard position constant values and other formats (decimal, hexadecimal, or octal) shall be valid as encoding values within the charmap<\/i> file. The codeset represented by the implementation-defined name can be any codeset that is supported by the implementation.<\/p>\n

When conflicts occur between the charmap<\/i> specification of <code_set_name<\/i>>, <mb_cur_max<\/i>>, or <mb_cur_min<\/i>> and the implementation-defined interpretation of these respective items for the codeset represented by the \u2212u<\/b> option-argument code_set_name<\/i>, the result is unspecified.<\/p>\n

When conflicts occur between the charmap<\/i> encoding values specified for symbolic names of characters of the portable character set and the implementation-defined assignment of character encoding values, the result is unspecified.<\/p>\n

If a non-printable character in the charmap<\/i> has a width specified that is not \u22121<\/b>, the result will be undefined.<\/p>\n

EXIT STATUS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The following exit values shall be returned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

No errors occurred and the locales were successfully created.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Warnings occurred and the locales were successfully created.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The locale specification exceeded implementation limits or the coded character set or sets used were not supported by the implementation, and no locale was created.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The capability to create new locales is not supported by the implementation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

>3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Warnings or errors occurred and no output was created.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

If an error is detected, no permanent output shall be created.<\/p>\n

If warnings occur, permanent output shall be created if the \u2212c<\/b> option was specified. The following conditions shall cause warning messages to be issued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

If a symbolic name not found in the charmap<\/i> file is used for the descriptions of the LC_CTYPE<\/i> or LC_COLLATE<\/i> categories (for other categories, this shall be an error condition).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

If the number of operands to the order<\/b> keyword exceeds the {COLL_WEIGHTS_MAX} limit.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

If optional keywords not supported by the implementation are present in the source.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Other implementation-defined conditions may also cause warnings.<\/p>\n

The following sections are informative.<\/i><\/p>\n

APPLICATION USAGE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The charmap<\/i> definition is optional, and is contained outside the locale definition. This allows both completely self-defined source files, and generic sources (applicable to more than one codeset). To aid portability, all charmap<\/i> definitions must use the same symbolic names for the portable character set. As explained in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017, Section 6.4<\/i>, Character Set Description File<\/i>, it is implementation-defined whether or not users or applications can provide additional character set description files. Therefore, the \u2212f<\/b> option might be operable only when an implementation-defined charmap<\/i> is named.<\/p>\n

EXAMPLES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

None.<\/p>\n

RATIONALE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The output produced by the localedef<\/i> utility is implementation-defined. The name<\/i> operand is used to identify the specific locale. (As a consequence, although several categories can be processed in one execution, only categories belonging to the same locale can be processed.)<\/p>\n

FUTURE DIRECTIONS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

None.<\/p>\n
