POSIX locale descriptions

POSIX character set descriptions

This add-on package contains the data needed to build the locale data
|
||
files to use the internationalization features of the GNU libc.
|
||
|
||
POSIX.2 describes the `localedef' utility which is part of the GNU libc.
|
||
You need this program to "compile" the locale description in a form
|
||
suitable for fast access by the GNU libc functions. Any compilation is
|
||
based on a given character set.
|
||
|
||
To use these data files you should add the name of this add-on
|
||
(localedata) to the list of add-on you specify while compiling the GNU
|
||
libc:
|
||
|
||
configure --enable-add-ons=...,localedata ...
|
||
|
||
where ... are the options you normally choose. Once you run `make
|
||
install' for the GNU libc the data files are automatically installed in
|
||
the right place, ready for use by the `localedef' program.
|
||
|
||
|
||
To compile the locale data files you simply have to decide which locale
|
||
(based on the location and the language) and which character set you
|
||
use. E.g., French speaking Canadians would use the locale `fr_CA' and
|
||
the character set `ISO_8859-1,1987'. Calling `localedef' to get the
|
||
desired data should happen like this:
|
||
|
||
localedef -i fr_CA -f ISO-8859-1 fr_CA
|
||
|
||
This will place the 6 output files in the appropriate directory where
|
||
the GNU libc functions can find them. Please note that you need
|
||
permission to write to this directory ($(prefix)/share/locale, where
|
||
$(prefix) is the value you specified while configuring GNU libc). If
|
||
you do not have the necessary permissions, you can write the files into an
|
||
arbitrary directory by giving a path including a '/' character instead
|
||
of `fr_CA'. E.g., to put the new files in a subdirectory of the
|
||
current directory simply use
|
||
|
||
localedef -i fr_CA -f ISO-8859-1 ./fr_CA
|
||
|
||
How to use these data files is described in the GNU libc manual,
|
||
especially in the section describing the `setlocale' function.

||

Keld J<>rn Simonsen from the Danish Unix User Group maintains this
|
||
archive on behalf of the POSIX working groups. When you find some wrong
|
||
data or want to add something please contact

|
||
Please make sure your corrections are relative to the originally
|
||
distributed files. Consult the CHECKSUMS file which contains the MD5
|
||
sums for all data files.
|
||
|
||
|
||
One more note: the `POSIX' locale definition is not meant to be used
|
||
as an input file for `localedef'. It is rather there to show the
|
||
values with are built in the libc binaries as default values when no
|
||
legal locale is found or the "C" or "POSIX" locale is selected.

The collation test suite
|
||
########################
|
||
|
||
This package also contains a (beginning of a) test suite for the
|
||
collation functions in the GNU libc. The files are provided sorted.
|
||
The test program shuffles the lines and sort them afterwards.
|
||
|
||
Some of the files are provided in 8bit form, i.e., not only ASCII
|
||
characters. So the tools you use to process the files should be 8bit
|
||
clean.
|
||
|
||
To run the test program the appropriate locale information must be
|
||
installed. Therefore the localedef program is used to generate this
|
||
data used the locale and charmap description files contained here.
|
||
Since we cannot run the localedef program in case of cross-compilation
|
||
no tests at all are performed.
