[PATCH] repertoiremap.5: New page for repertoiremap(5)

[Marko Myllynen <myllynen-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

Hi,

the patch description says it all. I guess this page is worth adding although nobody should use repertoire maps anymore (they were removed from glibc over a decade ago).

Rather obsolete feature but localedef(1) refers to repertoiremaps.

+.SH NAME
+repertoiremap \- map symbolic character names to Unicode code points
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A repertoire map defines mappings between symbolic character names and
+Unicode code points when compiling a locale with
+.BR localedef (1).
+Using a repertoire map is optional, it is only needed when symbolic
+names are used instead of now preferred Unicode code points.
+.SS Syntax
+The repertoiremap file starts with a header that may consist of the
+following keywords:
+.TP
+.I <comment_char>
+is followed by a character that will be used as the
+comment character for the rest of the file.
+It defaults to the number sign (#).
+.TP
+.I <escape_char>
+is followed by a character that should be used as the escape character
+for the rest of the file to mark characters that should be interpreted
+in a special way.
+It defaults to the backslash (\\).
+.PP
+The mapping section starts with the keyword
+.B CHARIDS
+in the first column.
+
+The mapping lines have the following form:
+.TP
+.I <symbolic-name> <code-point> <comment>
+This defines exactly one mapping,
+.I <comment>
+being optional.
+.PP
+The mapping section ends with the string
+.IR "END CHARIDS" .
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I /usr/share/i18n/repertoiremaps
+Usual default repertoire map path.
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+POSIX.2.
+.SH NOTES
+Repertoire maps are deprecated in favor of Unicode code points.
