Hi!
I'm using FreeBSD 2.1.0R. I'd like to make a whole Hungarian locale.
I've made some type of keyboard descriptor file, generate 3 console
font files. Now, I need to make the two more difficult part:
collating sequences, and LC_TIME file.
So I need some information, not found in the manual.
LC_COLLATE:
a) what is it good for, the charmap and substitute statements?
b) what does these symbols mean: <c>h, c<h>, <c>\x68, <c><h>?
(These are in the manuals ``charmap'' section.)
c) the main is the order list:
if I understand well, I have to list all of the characters of this code table.
i) Is it true? What will be, if I doesn't write all of the characters?
ii) the list order is the sorting order of the characters?
iii) what does the ( .. ) form and the { .. } form mean?
(from the manual, they are the same)
d) I think, I've made a (maybe incorrect) collate file, generate the LC_COLLATE
in /usr/share/locale/hu_HU.CP852 ; exported the LC_COLLATE variable ; and made a
little ``sort'' program, which gets two string, and compare with strcoll. But
it sort by the ascii order. ??? What do I need to make, not made before?
(I've written an email to Alex Tatmanjants <alex@elvisti.kiev.ua> - as the
originator of the colldef program, but didn't get anything - yet.)
LC_TIME:
a) is there any manual page about the format of this file?
(I've got it from James Raynard, who get it from -current, but (as he says)
doesn't know too much about internationalisation.)
b) how long have to be one record?
c) can I use it in 2.1R? I've made the file, exported the LC_TIME variable, but
the date command has the same output, as before. Do I have to make something
else?
And another question: Raynard said something about a command, I think:
timeset, but didn't find any information about it. Do you know something
about it?
Thanks, Gabor
PS: and what about 2.1.5? Are there any new functions, files?
