It is read at early boot by +\fBsystemd\fR(1)\&. +.PP +The format of +locale\&.conf +is a newline\-separated list of environment\-like shell\-compatible variable assignments, ignoring comments and empty lines\&. It is possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments, no shell features are supported, allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine\&.
