+.SH NAME
+locale \- get locale-specific information
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BR locale " [\fIoption\fP]"

+.BR locale " [\fIoption\fP] \fIname\fP..."

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B locale
+command displays information about the current locale, or all locales,
+on standard output.
+.PP
+When invoked without arguments,
+.B locale
+displays the current locale settings for each locale category (see
+.BR locale (5)),
+based on the settings of the environment variables that control the locale
+(see
+.BR locale (7)).
+Values for variables set in the environment are printed without double
+quotes, implied values are printed with double quotes.
+.PP
+If either the
+.B \-a
+or the
+.B \-m
+option (or one of their long-format equivalents) is specified,
+the behavior is as follows:
+.TP
+.BR \-a ", " \-\-all\-locales
+Display a list of all available locales.
+The
+.B \-v
+option causes the
+.B LC_IDENTIFICATION
+metadata about each locale to be included in the output.
+.TP
+.BR \-m ", " \-\-charmaps
+Display the available charmaps (character set description files).
+To display the current character set for the locale, use
+\fBlocale \-c charmap\fR.
+.PP
+The
+.B locale
+command can also be provided with one or more arguments,
+which are the names of locale keywords (for example,
+.IR date_fmt ,
+.IR ctype\-class\-names ,
+.IR yesexpr ,
+or
+.IR decimal_point )
+or locale categories (for example,
+.B LC_CTYPE
+or
+.BR LC_TIME ).
+For each argument, the following is displayed:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+For a locale keyword, the value of that keyword to be displayed.
+.IP \[bu]
+For a locale category,
+the values of all keywords in that category are displayed.
+.PP
+When arguments are supplied, the following options are meaningful:
+.TP
+.BR \-c ", " \-\-category\-name
+For a category name argument,
+write the name of the locale category
+on a separate line preceding the list of keyword values for that category.
+.IP
+For a keyword name argument,
+write the name of the locale category for this keyword
+on a separate line preceding the keyword value.
+.IP
+This option improves readability when multiple name arguments are specified.
+It can be combined with the
+.B \-k
+option.
+.TP
+.BR \-k ", " \-\-keyword\-name
+For each keyword whose value is being displayed,
+include also the name of that keyword,
+so that the output has the format:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+.IR keyword =\[dq] value \[dq]
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The
+.B locale
+command also knows about the following options:
+.TP
+.BR \-v ", " \-\-verbose
+Display additional information for some command-line option and argument
+combinations.
+.TP
+.BR \-? ", " \-\-help
+Display a summary of command-line options and arguments and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-\-usage
+Display a short usage message and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-V ", " \-\-version
+Display the program version and exit.

+.PP
+The following example compiles a custom locale from the
+.I ./wrk
+directory with the
+.BR localedef (1)
+utility under the
+.I $HOME/.locale
+directory, then tests the result with the
+.BR date (1)
+command, and then sets the environment variables
+.B LOCPATH
+and
+.B LANG
+in the shell profile file so that the custom locale will be used in the
+subsequent user sessions:
+.PP
+.EX
+$ \fBmkdir \-p $HOME/.locale\fP
+$ \fBI18NPATH=./wrk/ localedef \-f UTF\-8 \-i fi_SE $HOME/.locale/fi_SE.UTF\-8\fP
