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 process-
ing 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.
