NAME

nlioenv − set Native Language I/O environment

SYNOPSIS

nlioenv [−p [ files ]] [−w [ files ]] [ −l flag ]

DESCRIPTION

Nlioenv sets the Native Language I/O environment for the terminal device that is the current standard input.  Without arguments, it reports the settings.  If the standard input is not a terminal or is inaccessible, nlioenv tries the current standard output.  If both fail, nlioenv terminates with an error message.  It writes normal messages on the standard output and error messages on the standard error output.  It tries to do all of the specified options one by one from left to right, even if some fail. 

Options

−p [files] The files are absolute or relative path names of word dictionaries used for phrase conversion in addition to the phrase dictionary.  Up to three dictionaries can be specified to be opened.  The dictionaries previously in use are closed and replaced with the dictionaries specified by this option.  The opened dictionaries will be accessed in the order they are specified, and then the phrase dictionary will be accessed.  If files are omitted, nlioenv closes the currently opened dictionaries for phrase conversion and stops using them. 

−w [files] The files are absolute or relative path names of word dictionaries to be used for word conversion.  Up to three dictionaries can be specified to be opened.  The dictionaries previously in use are closed and replaced with the dictionaries specified by this option.  The opened dictionaries will be accessed in the order they are specified.  If files are omitted, nlioenv closes the currently opened dictionaries for word conversion and stops using them. 

−lflag The flag specifies the setting to be listed.  If it is p, nlioenv prints the absolute path names of the dictionaries currently in use for phrase conversion in the order they would be accessed.  If flag is w, nlioenv prints the names of dictionaries currently in use for word conversion. 

When the login shell is terminated, all of the opened dictionaries for the terminal device are closed. 

RETURN VALUE

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

WARNINGS

The length of the absolute path name of word dictionaries is limited to 119 bytes.
