Bug#314934: libc6: Improve locale tool / locale manpage
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice to add an option to locale, which would list
all possible keywords, that can be queried.
Also, the manpage only explains properly what will happen if you
call locale without arguments (keywords), but not what will happen
with keywords or what keywords are available.
The main thing bugging me is that one can use "locale charmap" to
get the name of the current locales character set, but the manpage
provides no hint that locale can be used to get this information.
