locale [-ck] name [...]

DESCRIPTION

     locale displays information about the current locale, or a list of all
     avilable locales.

     When locale is run with no arguments it will display the current source
     of each locale category.

     When locale is given the name of a category it acts as if it had been
     given each keyword in that category.  For each keyword it is given the
     current value is displayed.

OPTIONS

     -a       Lists all public locales.

     -c       Lists the category name before each keyword, unless it is the
              same category as the previously displayed keyword.

     -k       Displays the name of each keyword prior to it's value.

     -m       Lists all avilable public charmaps.  This is currently an empty
              list.

ENVIRONMENT

     LANG         Used as a substitute for any unset LC_* variable.  If LANG
                  is unset it will act as if set to "C".  If any of LANG or
                  LC_* are set to invalide values locale acts as if they are
                  all unset.

     LC_ALL       Will overide the setting of all other LC_* variables.

     LC_COLLATE   Sets the locale for the LC_COLLATE category.

     LC_CTYPE     Sets the locale for the LC_CTYPE category.

     LC_MESSAGES  Sets the locale for the LC_MESSAGES category.
