Introduction

lslocales is a small, standalone utility program that lists the locales installed on the host. On Windows it enumerates system locales via EnumSystemLocales and resolves each LCID with GetLocaleInfo (LOCALE_SNAME, falling back to LOCALE_SLANGUAGE). On POSIX it lists locale names as locale -a would, with a directory-scan fallback.

This is not lsloc (a recursive file-locator in ~/.bin).

Installation

Detailed instructions - via CMake - are provided in the accompanying INSTALL.md file.

Components

The project creates a single executable program, lslocales.

Examples

$ lslocales --names-only | head
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX
en_AU.UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8
. . .

Default output is id<TAB>name. When the id and name are identical (typical on POSIX) a single column is emitted; on Windows the id is the hex LCID.
