NAME
locale-gen.conf - Configuration file for locale-gen
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/belocs/locale-gen.conf customize how locales generated by
locale-gen are stored onto disk.
This file is executed by locale-gen as a shell fragment, which means
that errors in this file can break locale-gen. It can contain the
following variable definitioos, of the form <variable>=<value>.
VARIABLES
ARCHIVE=(yes|no)
If set to yes, locale data are stored into a single archive
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive. Otherwise, locale data are
stored in /usr/lib/locale/<locale_name>/LC_* files. (Default is
no)
PURGE=(yes|no)
If set to yes, locale data are first removed when locale-gen is
run. This is the behavior of the locales package. (Default is
no)
ALIASES=file
Specify a file name containing locale aliases. (Default is
/etc/locale.alias)
GLIBC_MAGIC=(0x20000828|0x20031115|0x20051014|auto)
In order to ensure compatibility between compiled data and GNU
libc functions, a magic number is stored in locale data, and if
it does not match GNU libc one, locale data are ignored.
Current locale-gen program can write compiled data with magic
numbers 0x20000828 (for 2.1.96 <= GNU libc <= 2.3.2), 0x20031115
(for GNU libc >= 2.3.3, which is the default in etch) or
0x20031115 (for GNU libc CVS, which is not used yet). If this
variable is set to auto, a locale is generated by the localedef
command shipped in GNU libc, and the magic number is extracted
from this locale. (Default is auto)
