The
mklocale
utility reads a
LC_CTYPE
source file from standard input and produces a
LC_CTYPE
binary file on standard output suitable for placement in
/usr/share/locale/language /LC_CTYPE.
The format of
src-file
is quite simple.
It consists of a series of lines which start with a keyword and have
associated data following.
C style comments are used
to place comments in the file.
Following options are available:
|
| -d
|
| |
Turns on debugging messages.
|
| -o
|
| |
Specify output file.
|
|
