NAME

       cdist-type__localedef - Define and remove system locales

DESCRIPTION

       This  cdist  type  allows you to define locales on the system using localedef(1) or remove
       them.  On systems that don't support definition of new locales, the  type  will  raise  an
       error.

       NB:  This  type  respects  the  glibc  locale.alias file, i.e. it defines alias locales or
       deletes aliases of a locale when it is removed.  It is not possible, however, to use alias
       names to define locales or only remove certain aliases of a locale.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

       state  present or absent. Defaults to present.

EXAMPLES

          # Add locale de_CH.UTF-8
          __localedef de_CH.UTF-8

          # Same as above, but more explicit
          __localedef de_CH.UTF-8 --state present

          # Remove colourful British English
          __localedef en_GB.UTF-8 --state absent
