The
utility reads a
LC_CTYPE
source file from standard input and produces a
LC_CTYPE
binary file on standard output suitable for placement in
/usr/share/locale/ language /LC_CTYPE
The format of
src-file
is quite simple.
It consists of a series of lines which start with a keyword and have
associated data following.
C style comments are used
to place comments in the file.
Following options are available:
-d
Turns on debugging messages.
-o
Specify output file.
Besides the keywords which will be listed below,
the following are valid tokens in
src-file
RUNE
A
RUNE
may be any of the following:
'x'
The ASCII character
x
'\x'
The ANSI C character
\x
where
\x
is one of
\a\b\f\n\r\t
or
\v
0x[0-9a-z]*
A hexadecimal number representing a rune code.
0[0-7]*
An octal number representing a rune code.
[1-9][0-9]*
A decimal number representing a rune code.
STRING

THRU
Either
...
or
-

literal
The follow characters are taken literally:
<([

Key words which should only appear once are:
ENCODING
Followed by a
STRING
which indicates the encoding mechanism to be used for this locale.
The current encodings are:
BIG5
The
``Big5''
encoding of Chinese.
EUC
EUC

VARIABLE
This keyword must be followed by a single tab or space character,
after which encoding specific data is placed.
Currently only the
EUC
encoding requires variable data.
See
euc(5)
for further details.
INVALID
(obsolete)
A single
RUNE
follows and is used as the invalid rune for this locale.
The following keywords may appear multiple times and have the following
format for data:
<RUNE1 RUNE2>
RUNE1
is mapped to
RUNE2
<RUNE1 THRU RUNEn : RUNE2>
Runes
RUNE1
through
RUNEn are mapped to
RUNE2
through
RUNE2
+ n-1.
MAPLOWER
Defines the tolower mappings.
RUNE2
is the lower case representation of
RUNE1
MAPUPPER
Defines the toupper mappings.
RUNE2
is the upper case representation of
RUNE1
TODIGIT
Defines a map from runes to their digit value.
RUNE2
is the integer value represented by
RUNE1
For example, the ASCII character
`0'
would map to the decimal value 0.
Only values up to 255
are allowed.
The following keywords may appear multiple times and have the following
format for data:
RUNE
This rune has the property defined by the keyword.
