LOCALE-GEN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual LOCALE-GEN(8)
NAME
locale-gen — generate localisation files from templates
SYNOPSIS
locale-gen [--keep-existing]
DESCRIPTION
As compiled locales are large, only templates are distributed in the de-
fault locales package, and only the desired locales are compiled on the
target system.
After selecting the locales into /etc/locale.gen (via dpkg package
configuration, for example), locale-gen is run to compile them via
localedef(1).
OPTIONS
--keep-existing Do not remove /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, only com-
piling new locales.
FILES
/etc/locale.gen Whitespace-separated newline-delimited locale charset
list of locales to build with # start-of-line comments.

supported locales on the current system.
