It appears this is actually constrained by processors to be a single character, as at https://code.woboq.org/userspace/glibc/locale/programs/ld- numeric.c.html#229 It is not clear if that is part of the spec: if so, I think this should be made explicit in the man page; if not, it is probably still worth noting that some applications (such as localedef) require it. I have not checked, but it seems likely that thousands_sep has the same constraint, and would need similar treatment. Initially reported for Ubuntu at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1898902, they recommended I re-post upstream.

[Bug 1898902] Re: (doc?) locale-gen disagrees with locale(5)
Thanks for your report. Looks like there is room for clarification of that man page. I would suggest that you report it upstream: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=glibc;component=locale But don't refer to locale-gen() when doing so, but rather localedef(). Also, if you file an upstream bug, please post the URL to it here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1898902 Title: (doc?) locale-gen disagrees with locale(5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1898902/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1898902] [NEW] (doc?) locale-gen disagrees with locale(5)
Public bug reported: The LC_NUMERIC section of locale(5) includes: decimal_point followed by the string that will be used as the decimal delim- iter when formatting numeric quantities. .. without constraint on what the string may include. However locale-gen appears to reject any attempt to define decimal_point to a string longer than one character, with the message: LC_NUMERIC: value for field `decimal_point' must be a single character [error] LC_NUMERIC: field `decimal_point' not defined If that constraint is intended, I think locale(5) should specify it. (There may be a similar issue for thousands_sep, I didn't test that.) Found on bionic with locales-2.27-3ubuntu1.2, I did not check other releases. Motivation: I wanted to define a longer decimal_point so as to test the robustness of an application's number formatting. ** Affects: glibc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1898902 Title: (doc?) locale-gen disagrees with locale(5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1898902/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
