#7495: program to get locale settings ---------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: mmadia | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Command Line Tools | Version: R1/alpha2 Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: 7412 | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | ---------------------------------------------+------------------------- Paraphrasing from ticket:7412#comment:10 We need a command line tool that: 1. fetches the current locale settings (via the locale kit) 1. returns a corresponding POSIX locale string. 1. set the locale environment variable(s) in /etc/profile Note: having that variable in SetupEnvironment would not be the best place. (SetupEnvironment is executed only on boot-up, so it cannot work for multi-user and locale settings changes wouldn't take effect until reboot.) -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7495> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
