Units: A Unit Conversion Program
9. Localization
Some units have different values in different locations. The
localization feature accomodates this by allowing the units database to
specify region dependent definitions. A locale region in the units
database begins with `!locale' followed by the name of the locale.
The leading `!' must appear in the first column of the units
database. The locale region is terminated by `!endlocale'. The
following example shows how to define a couple units in a locale.
| | !locale en_GB
ton brton
gallon brgallon
!endlocale
|
The current locale is specified
by the LOCALE environment variable. Note that the `-c'
option only checks the definitions which are active for the current locale.
