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 pro-

cessing occurs without NLS functionality. This environment is based on the 7-bit-coded USASCII charac-

ter set.

POSIX and C are equivalent and can be used interchangeably.
