The only reference to it in the pcvt(4) man page is that there is an integer to store it in the pcvtinfo structure. Does anyone know if this is still needed and, if so, what is broken without it? I believe that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but I'm not sure that nothing is broken and that it won't bite me when I'm trying to fix some other problem and have to use console mode. R.
