+The path used for finding locale data can be set using the
+@code{LOCPATH} environment variable. The default path for finding
+locale data is system specific. It is computed from the value given
+as the prefix while configuring the C library. This value normally is
+@file{/usr} or @file{/}. For the former the complete path is:
