NAME

dumpcs - show codeset table for the current locale

SYNOPSIS

dumpcs [-0123vw]

DESCRIPTION

dumpcs shows a list of printable characters for the user's current
locale, along with their hexadecimal code values. The display device
is assumed to be capable of displaying characters for a given locale.
With no option, dumpcs displays the entire list of printable
characters for the current locale.

With one or more numeric options specified, it shows EUC codeset(s)
for the current locale according to the numbers specified, and in
order of codeset number. Each non-printable character is represented
by an asterisk "*" and enough ASCII space character(s) to fill that
codeset's column width.

OPTIONS

-0
Show ASCII (or EUC primary) codeset.

-1
Show EUC codeset 1, if used for the current locale.

-2
Show EUC codeset 2, if used for the current locale.

-3
Show EUC codeset 3, if used for the current locale.

-v
"Verbose". Normally, ranges of non-printable characters are
collapsed into a single line. This option produces one line
for each non-printable character.

-w
Replace code values with corresponding wide character values
(process codes).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The environment variables LC_CTYPE and LANG control the character
classification throughout dumpcs. On entry to dumpcs, these
environment variables are checked in that order. This implies that a
new setting for LANG does not override the setting of LC_CTYPE. When
none of the values is valid, the character classification defaults to
the POSIX.1 "C" locale.
