EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LANG provides a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. If
LANG is
unset or null, the default value of "C" (see lang(5)) is used. If any of the internationalization variables con-
tains an invalid setting,
gencat will behave as if all internationalization variables are set to "C". See
environ(5).
LC_ALL, if set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all of the other internationalization
variables.
LC_CTYPE determines the interpretation of text as single and/or multi-byte characters, the classification
of characters as printable, and the characters matched by character class expressions in regular expres-
sions.
LC_MESSAGES determines the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic
messages written to standard error and informative messages written to standard output.
NLSPATH determines the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES .
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
WARNINGS
The $quote directive is not currently supported on the HP MPE and RTE operating systems.
