NAME
lang — description of supported languages
DESCRIPTION
HP-UX NLS (Native Language Support)
provides support for the processing and
customs requirements of a variety of languages.
To enable NLS support for a particular language,
a language definition must exist on the
HP-UX system.
Invoking the command
locale -a
(see
locale(1))
displays information regarding which languages
are currently supported on a particular
HP-UX system.
The default processing language for
HP-UX is
POSIX.
POSIX
provides an environment in which processing occurs without
NLS functionality.
This environment is based on the 7-bit-coded
USASCII character set.
POSIX
and
C
are equivalent and can be used interchangeably.
