Locales

=======

This directory contains a set of tests for locales. I provided one C

program test-ctype.c to test CTYPE support in libc and the installed

locale data. Then there are test-sort.pl and test-sort.py that test

collating.

To run a test for some locale run

make check-$locale

for example

make check-koi8-r

Currently, there are only tests for a few locales available. The script

'runall' calls test-ctype to test libc and locale data, test-sort.pl

(uncomment test-sort.py, if you have a Python interpreter installed), and

does tests on PostgreSQL with the provided SQL script files.

To add locale tests one needs to create a directory $locale and create

a Makefile (and other files) similar to koi8-r/*. Actually, the simplest

(I think) method is just to copy the koi8-r directory and edit/replace

the files.
