|
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> file
|
|
configures system-wide locale settings.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The basic file format of
|
|
<filename>locale.conf</filename> is a
|
|
newline-separated list of environment-like
|
|
shell-compatible variable assignments. It is possible
|
|
to source the configuration from shell scripts,
|
|
however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell
|
|
features are supported, allowing applications to read
|
|
the file without implementing a shell compatible
|
|
execution engine.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the kernel command line options
|
|
<varname>locale.LANG=</varname>,

<varname>locale.LC_MEASUREMENT=</varname>,
|

<varname>locale.LC_IDENTIFICATION=</varname> may be
|

used to override the locale settings at boot.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The locale settings configured in
|
|
<filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> are system-wide
|
|
and are inherited by every service or user, unless
|
|
overriden or unset by individual programs or
|
|
individual users.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Depending on the operating system other
|
|
configuration files might be checked for locale
|
|
configuration as well, however only as
|
|
fallback.</para>
