NAME

nlio − control Native Language I/O

SYNOPSIS

nlio [ −c [ flag ] ] [ −n ] [ −s ] [ −t [ tb ] ]

DESCRIPTION

Nlio controls Native Language I/O for the current standard input device.  Without arguments, nlio reports the settings.  If the standard input is not a terminal or is inaccessible, nlio tries the current standard output.  If both fail, it terminates with an error message.  Nlio writes normal messages on the standard output and error messages on the standard error output. 

Options

Nlio does all of the specified options one by one from left to right, even if some fail. 

−c[flag] Specify the scope of 16-bit data handling (parsing data and conversion):

i for input,

o for output,

io or b for both input and output,

n for neither input nor output. 

If flag is omitted, nlio prints the current status of i, o, b, or n. 

−n Check whether Native Language I/O is available for the terminal.  If it is available, nlio returns exit code 0; if not, 1.  No messages are displayed. 

−s Print the name of the Native Language I/O server running on the terminal. 

−t[tb] Specify terminal behavior.  If it is omitted, nlio prints the name of the current terminal behavior (see nlioinit(1)).

When the login shell is terminated, the settings are reset to −cb -t<initial tb>. 

RETURN VALUE

Nlio returns exit code 0 in success and 1 in failure.
