LOCALE(1)                                  Linux User Manual                                  LOCALE(1)

NAME
       locale - get locale-specific information

SYNOPSIS
       locale [option]
       locale [option] -a
       locale [option] -m
       locale [option] name...

DESCRIPTION
       The  locale  command  displays information about the current locale, or all locales, on standard
       output.

       When invoked without arguments, locale displays the current locale settings for each locale cat‐
       egory  (see  locale(5)), based on the settings of the environment variables that control the lo‐
       cale (see locale(7)).  Values for variables set in the environment are  printed  without  double
       quotes, implied values are printed with double quotes.

       If  either  the  -a or the -m option (or one of their long-format equivalents) is specified, the
       behavior is as follows:

       -a, --all-locales
              Display a list of all available locales.  The  -v  option  causes  the  LC_IDENTIFICATION
              metadata about each locale to be included in the output.

       -m, --charmaps
              Display the available charmaps (character set description files).  To display the current
              character set for the locale, use locale -c charmap.

       The locale command can also be provided with one or more arguments, which are the names  of  lo‐
       cale  keywords  (for  example, date_fmt, ctype-class-names, yesexpr, or decimal_point) or locale
       categories (for example, LC_CTYPE or LC_TIME).  For each argument, the following is displayed:

       *  For a locale keyword, the value of that keyword to be displayed.

       *  For a locale category, the values of all keywords in that category are displayed.

       When arguments are supplied, the following options are meaningful:

       -c, --category-name
              For a category name argument, write the name of the locale category on  a  separate  line
              preceding the list of keyword values for that category.

              For  a keyword name argument, write the name of the locale category for this keyword on a
              separate line preceding the keyword value.

              This option improves readability when multiple name arguments are specified.  It  can  be
              combined with the -k option.

       -k, --keyword-name
              For  each  keyword whose value is being displayed, include also the name of that keyword,
              so that the output has the format:

                  keyword="value"

       The locale command also knows about the following options:

       -v, --verbose
              Display additional information for some command-line option and argument combinations.

       -?, --help
              Display a summary of command-line options and arguments and exit.

       --usage
              Display a short usage message and exit.

       -V, --version
              Display the program version and exit.

FILES
       /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
              Usual default locale archive location.

       /usr/share/i18n/locales
              Usual default path for locale definition files.

CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

EXAMPLE
       $ locale
       LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
       LC_ALL=

       $ locale date_fmt
       %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y

       $ locale -k date_fmt
       date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"

       $ locale -ck date_fmt
       LC_TIME
       date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"

       $ locale LC_TELEPHONE
       +%c (%a) %l
       (%a) %l
       11
       1
       UTF-8

       $ locale -k LC_TELEPHONE
       tel_int_fmt="+%c (%a) %l"
       tel_dom_fmt="(%a) %l"
       int_select="11"
       int_prefix="1"
       telephone-codeset="UTF-8"

       The following example compiles a custom locale from the ./wrk directory  with  the  localedef(1)
       utility  under  the $HOME/.locale directory, then tests the result with the date(1) command, and
       then sets the environment variables LOCPATH and LANG in the shell profile file so that the  cus‐
       tom locale will be used in the subsequent user sessions:

       $ mkdir -p $HOME/.locale
       $ I18NPATH=./wrk/ localedef -f UTF-8 -i fi_SE $HOME/.locale/fi_SE.UTF-8
       $ LOCPATH=$HOME/.locale LC_ALL=fi_SE.UTF-8 date
       $ echo "export LOCPATH=\$HOME/.locale" >> $HOME/.bashrc
       $ echo "export LANG=fi_SE.UTF-8" >> $HOME/.bashrc
