A locale is the subset of a user’s environment that depends on language and
cultural conventions. A locale defines such things as the definition of characters,
and the collation sequence of those characters. POSIX.2 defines a POSIX locale,
which is essentially USASCII.
Since lex generates code that is then compiled before being executed, it is difficult
for lex to act properly on collation information. The POSIX.2 standard therefore
does not require lex to accept any locales other than the POSIX locale. lex accepts
regular expressions in this locale only.
lex uses the following files:
l.output
Scanner machine description
lex.yy.c
Tables and action routines
/etc/yylex.c
The prototype lex scanner
/usr/lib/libl.a
lex archive library with functions compiled for 31–bit addressing mode.
/usr/lib/liblxp.a
lex archive library with functions compiled with XPLINK. Includes two
versions: 64–bit addressing mode and 31–bit addressing mode.
lex uses the following localization environment variables:
v LANG
v LC_ALL
v LC_COLLATE
v LC_CTYPE
v LC_MESSAGES
v LC_SYNTAX
v NLSPATH
See Appendix F for more information.
