- Subject: Using localedef to define custom charmaps
Is it currently possible to use localedef to define custom charmaps?
The command line interface suggests this possibility.
But I don't see anything storing the tables in locale data, and it seems
that setting a locale in glibc always loads the corresponding
gconv/iconv module.
If that's really true, then why do we have charmap files? Only some of
them are used for generating iconv/gconv modules. Is it about POSIX
conformance at the command line interface level?
Thanks,
Florian
