             Bug #: 15189
           Summary: the tool to create private locales is described as
                    described
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: manual
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: giecrilj@stegny.2a.pl
                CC: mtk.manpages@gmail.com, roland@gnu.org
    Classification: Unclassified


Quoting 7.5 Standard Locales:

"Defining and installing named locales is normally a responsibility of the
system administrator at your site (or the person who installed the GNU C
library). It is also possible for the user to create private locales. All this
will be discussed later when describing the tool to do so."

I would expect that "discussed later" refers to some info node, not to the FAQ
[1], which also mentions the tool only in passing.  However, I was unable to
find `localedef` in the info; it is not in the index of files.

Note that there is a manual page for `localedef` but that does not count as
"later" either.

As a workaround, I suggest replacing the last sentence of the quoted paragraph
with a reference to the manual page; the problem with that approach is that,
given that `man` is non-GNU, you need to invoke `groff` directly to read manual
pages in a GNU-only system, which is rather intricate and inconvenient.

Or do we mean "later" as in the future? :-P
