            Bug ID: 104511
           Summary: Add “locale -c charmap” as an example to locale(1)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
          Reporter: fweimer-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org
        Regression: No

This prints “LC_CTYPE” followed by the name of the charset.  This is often
quite useful information, and there does not seem to be another convenient way
to get this information from the shell.  It's also not apparent how to get this
information from locale(1).

Hi Florian,

The first example is:

       $ locale
       LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
       ...

And there the encoding listed matches the charset in use, do you think an
additional example would still be warranted?

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/locale.1.html

Thanks.

Yes, absolutely, because “locale -c charmap” works even if the charset is not
part of the locale name:

$ LC_ALL=zh_CN locale -c charmap 
LC_CTYPE
GB2312
$ LC_ALL=lzh_TW locale -c charmap 
LC_CTYPE
UTF-8
$ LC_ALL=zh_HK locale -c charmap 
LC_CTYPE
BIG5-HKSCS

I don't know of any other convenient way to obtain this information (short of
writing a small C program which uses nl_langinfo(CODESET)).

Closing this, as that patch was merged.
