maplocale(1M) — Dell System V Release 4 Issue 2.2



maplocale(1M)  UNIX System V(Application Compatibility Package)   maplocale(1M)


NAME
      maplocale - convert Release 4 locale information to different format

SYNOPSIS
      maplocale -f new_format [ -t territory ] [ -c codeset ] SVR4_locale_name

DESCRIPTION
      maplocale converts Release 4 locale information into a format suitable
      for use with applications that require a different locale format.
      Currently, only conversion to SCO UNIX/XENIX format is supported,
      therefore, new_format must be XENIX.

      The SVR4_locale_name must be the name of a valid locale, which will be
      the name of one of the sub-directories in the /usr/lib/locale directory.

      Release 4 locale names use the form language[_territory[.codeset]].  If
      the locale name does not have the optional codeset or territory parts the
      -t and -c options must be used to specify the territory and code set for
      the locale.

   SCO Specific Information
      The converted data files will be placed in the directory:
      /usr/lib/lang/language/territory/codeset.

      If an abbreviated Release 4 locale name is used, the file
      /etc/default/lang will be updated and a line of the following form added
      to it:

            LANG=language_territory.codeset

EXAMPLE
      To convert the Spanish locale which is stored in the ISO 8859-1 code set,
      use the command:

            maplocale -fXENIX -tES -c88591 es

DIAGNOSTICS
      All error messages should be self explanatory.
