locale.gen(5)locale.gen(5)NAMElocale.gen - Configuration file for locale-genDESCRIPTION
The file /etc/locale.gen lists the locales that are to be generated by
the locale-gen command.
Each line is of the form:
<locale> <charset>
where <locale> is one of the locales given in /usr/share/i18n/locales
and <charset> is one of the character sets listed in
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps
The locale-gen command will generate all the locales, placing them in
/usr/lib/locale.
Comments start with the hash mark # and may only be on new lines.
Options start with #% (to preserve backwards compatibility). The only
option currently recognized is no-locale-archive. This will disable
generation of the locale archive file and instead generate multiple
files/directories for each locale.
