52 .Ar src-file
53 .Sh DESCRIPTION
54 The
55 .Nm
56 utility reads an
57 .Dv LC_CTYPE
58 source file from standard input and produces an
59 .Dv LC_CTYPE
60 binary file on standard output suitable for placement in
61 .Pa /usr/share/locale/ Ns Ar language Ns Pa /LC_CTYPE .
62 .Pp
63 The format of
64 .Ar src-file
65 is quite simple.
66 It consists of a series of lines which start with a keyword and have
67 associated data following.
68 C style comments are used
69 to place comments in the file.
70 .Pp
71 Following options are available:
72 .Bl -tag -width XXX
73 .It Fl d
74 Turns on debugging messages.
75 .It Fl o
76 Specify output file.
77 .El
78 .Pp
79 Besides the keywords which will be listed below,
80 the following are valid tokens in
81 .Ar src-file :

88 .It Ar 'x'
89 The ASCII character
90 .Ar x .
91 .It Ar '\ex'

100 .Dv \en ,
101 .Dv \er ,
102 .Dv \et ,
103 or
104 .Dv \ev .
105 .It Ar 0x[0-9a-z]*
106 A hexadecimal number representing a rune code.
107 .It Ar 0[0-7]*
108 An octal number representing a rune code.

110 A decimal number representing a rune code.
111 .El
112 .It Dv STRING
113 A string enclosed in double quotes (").

115 Either
116 .Dv ...
117 or
118 .Dv - .
119 Used to indicate ranges.
120 .It Ar literal
121 The follow characters are taken literally:
122 .Bl -tag -width "\*[Lt]\|\|(\|\|["
123 .It Dv "\*[Lt]\|(\|["
124 Used to start a mapping.
125 All are equivalent.
126 .It Dv "\*[Gt]\|\^)\|]"
127 Used to end a mapping.
128 All are equivalent.
129 .It Dv :
130 Used as a delimiter in mappings.
131 .El
132 .El
133 .Pp
134 Key words which should only appear once are:
135 .Bl -tag -width PHONOGRAM
136 .It Dv ENCODING
137 Followed by a
138 .Dv STRING
139 which indicates the encoding mechanism to be used for this locale.
140 The current encodings are:
141 .Bl -tag -width NONE
142 .It Dv NONE
143 No translation and the default.
144 .It Dv UTF2
145 .Dv "Universal character set Transformation Format"
146 adopted from

150 encoding as used by several
151 vendors of
152 .Ux
153 systems.
154 .El
155 .It Dv VARIABLE
156 This keyword must be followed by a single tab or space character,
157 after which encoding specific data is placed.
158 Currently only the
159 .Dv "EUC"
160 encoding requires variable data.
161 See
162 .Xr euc 5
163 for further details.
164 .It Dv INVALID

173 .It Aq Dv RUNE1 RUNE2
174 .Dv RUNE1
175 is mapped to
176 .Dv RUNE2 .
177 .It Aq Dv RUNE1 THRU RUNEn : RUNE2
178 Runes
179 .Dv RUNE1
180 through

269 The

271 utility first appeared in
272 .Bx 4.4 .
273 .Sh BUGS
274 The
275 .Nm
276 utility is overly simplistic.
277 .Pp
278 We should switch to
279 .Nm localedef
280 and its file format, which is more standard.
