NAME

validlocale - Test if a given locale is available  

SYNTAX

validlocale <locale>  

DESCRIPTION

Test if the locale given as argument is a valid locale. If it isn't, print on stdout the string to add to /etc/locale.gen to make locale-gen generate the locale (if it exists at all).  

FILES

/usr/sbin/validlocale
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED  

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

DEFAULTCHARSET
Which charset to assume if the given locale is missing from the list of supported locales.
 

EXAMPLES

If you give a valid locale as parameter, it outputs a string specifying this on stderr:

% validlocale C
locale 'C' valid and available

When given a invalid (not generated or just nonexistent), it outputs a string on stderr telling that this is an invalid locale, and a string to stdout with the string to add to /etc/locale.gen to have this locale generated:

% validlocale de_AU@euro
locale 'de_AU@euro' not available
de_AU@euro ISO-8859-15
