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. + +The locale settings configured in /etc/locale.conf are system-wide and are inherited by every service or user, unless overridden or +unset by individual programs or individual users. To avoid services inheriting the locale settings on sysvinit systems, the +DAEMON_LOCALE variable in rc.conf can be set to "no". + +In Arch /etc/rc.conf is also checked for locale configuration as well, however only as fallback. + +OPTIONS +------- +The following locale settings may be set using /etc/locale.conf: *LANG=*, *LANGUAGE=*, *LC_CTYPE=*, *LC_NUMERIC=*, *LC_TIME=*, *LC_COLLATE=*, +*LC_MONETARY=*, *LC_MESSAGES=*, *LC_PAPER=*, *LC_NAME=*, *LC_ADDRESS=*, *LC_TELEPHONE=*, *LC_MEASUREMENT=*, *LC_IDENTIFICATION=*. Note that *LC_ALL* may not be be configured in this file. For details about the meaning and semantics of these settings, refer to locale(7). + +SEE ALSO +-------- +systemd.locale.conf(5), locale(7), rc.conf(5) + +AUTHORS +------- +Original by Lennart Poettering, adapted to Arch Linux by Tom Gundersen. |
