Summary: message.texi contains incorrect information about
LANGUAGE
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: manual
AssignedTo: roland@gnu.org
ReportedBy: vincent+libc@vinc17.org
message.texi contains:
The @var{locale} component is computed based on the category used. Just
like for the @code{setlocale} function here comes the user selection
into the play. Some environment variables are examined in a fixed order
and the first environment variable set determines the return value of
the lookup process. In detail, for the category @code{LC_xxx} the
following variables in this order are examined:
@table @code
@item LANGUAGE
@item LC_ALL
@item LC_xxx
@item LANG
@end table
But this is incorrect: LANGUAGE does not always have the precedence over the
other variables, as shown below:
ypig% LANGUAGE=fr_FR LC_ALL=en_US cp
cp: opÃrande fichier manquant
Saisissez  cp --help  pour plus d'informations.
ypig% LANGUAGE=fr_FR LC_ALL=C cp
cp: missing file operand
Try `cp --help' for more information.
