.Sh NAME
.Nm locale
.Nd get locale-specific information
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl a | Fl m
.Nm
.Op Fl ck
.Op Ar keyword ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility is supposed to provide most locale specific information to
the standard output.
.Pp
When
.Nm
is invoked without arguments, it will print out a summary of the current
locale environment depending on environment variable settings and
internal status.
.Pp
When
.Nm
is invoked with arguments and no options specified, it will print out
.Em keyword Ns No 's
value determined using the current locale settings.
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl a
Write names of all available locales.
While looking for locales,
.Nm
will respect the
.Ev PATH_LOCALE
environment variable, and use it instead of the system's default locale
directory.
.It Fl m
Write names of all available charmaps.
.It Fl k
Write the name and value of the selected keywords.
.It Fl c
Write the category name for the selected keywords.
.El
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Special (FreeBSD specific) keyword
.Ar list
can be used to retrieve human readable list of available keywords.
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
The
.Nm
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
.Sh BUGS
Since
.Fx
does not support
.Em charmap Ns No s
in their
.Em POSIX
meaning,
.Nm
emulates the
.Ar m
option via CODESETs listing of all available locales.
