NAME
locale-gen - compile a list of locale definition files
SYNOPSIS
locale-gen
[options] [locale] [language] ...
DESCRIPTION
Compiled locale files take about 50MB of disk space, and most users
only need few locales. In order to save disk space, compiled locale
files are not distributed in the
locales
package, but selected locales are automatically generated when this
package is installed by running the
locale-gen
program.
If a list of languages and/or locales is specified as arguments, then
locale-gen only generates these particular locales and adds the new ones
to /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local. Otherwise it generates all supported
locales.
Locale data files can be stored either in a single archive file,
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive,
or in a deep tree where individual files are stored under
/usr/lib/locale/<locale_name>/LC_*.
But unlike the
locales
package, compiled locale definitions are not removed when running
locale-gen,
and locales are compiled again only if locale source files have changed.
OPTIONS
These options override settings found in
/etc/belocs/locale-gen.conf.
--help
Display an help message and exit.
--purge
Remove all existing locales before processing.
--archive
When this option is set, locale data are stored in a single archive
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive.
--no-archive
When this option is set, locale data are stored in
/usr/lib/locale/<locale_name>/LC_*
files.
This is the default.
--aliases=FILE
Locale aliases are read from
FILE.
FILES
/var/lib/locales/supported.d/*
List all locales to generate. File format is similar to
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED.
/etc/belocs/locale-gen.conf
Customize how compiled locale files are stored onto disk.
/usr/lib/locale/<locale_name>/LC_*
Compiled locale data.
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
Generated archive containing compiled locale data, if
--archive
flag is set.
/var/lib/belocs
Directory used to keep track of changes in locale source files.
The
locale-gen
program was originally written by Debian GNU libc maintainers,
and has been improved by Denis Barbier <[email protected]> for
the
belocs-locales-bin
package. This manual page has been rewritten from scratch to
document the current behavior.
