To enable smooth migration from PA to IPF, both PA
and IPF locale libraries and iconv methods need to exist
on an Itanium-based system.
Directory Structure Changes |
 |
The current directory structure on 64-bit PA systems is:
|
/usr/lib/nls/loc/ # PA32 locale directory
/usr/lib/nls/loc/locales.1 # PA32 versioned 10.20 locale libraries
/usr/lib/nls/loc/locales.2 # PA32 versioned 11.x locale libraries
/usr/lib/nls/loc/locales # Link to /usr/lib/nls/loc/locales.2
/usr/lib/nls/loc/methods.1 # PA32 versioned 10.20 locale methods
/usr/lib/nls/loc/methods.2 # PA32 versioned 11.x locale methods
/usr/lib/nls/loc/methods # Link to /usr/lib/nls/loc/methods.2
/usr/lib/nls/iconv/methods.1 # PA32 versioned 10.20 iconv method

New directories have been created for 32-bit and 64-bit IPF locale libraries,
which co-exist with PA libraries. The new directories are:
|
/usr/lib/nls/loc/hpux32/
/usr/lib/nls/loc/hpux32/locales.1 # IA-64 native 32 bit locales
/usr/lib/nls/loc/hpux32/locales # Link to /usr/lib/nls/loc/hpux32/locales.1
/usr/lib/nls/loc/hpux32/methods.1 # IA-64 native 32 bit methods
/usr/lib/nls/loc/hpux32/methods # Link to /usr/lib/nls/loc/hpux32/methods.1
/usr/lib/nls/iconv/hpux32/methods.1 # IA-64 native 32 bit iconv libraries
/usr/lib/nls/iconv/hpux32/methods # Link to

Changes to locale Command |
|
Locales are listed according to the underlying processor type
if the -a option of the locale command is specified. The -a option
is used as follows:
- -a
list 32-bit IPF locales
- -a 32
list 32-bit IPF locales
- -a 64
list 64-bit IPF locales
- -pa32
list 32-bit PA locale libraries in /usr/lib/nls/loc/locales.2
- -pa64
list 64-bit IPF locale libraries in /usr/lib/nls/loc/pa20_64/locales.2
A new option, -A lists all the locale libraries
irrespective of the flavors and versions. This list includes locales
in the directories
/usr/lib/nls/loc/locales.2
/usr/lib/nls/loc/pa20_64/locales.2
/usr/lib/nls/loc/hpux32/locales.1
/usr/lib/nls/loc/hpux64/locales.1
Changes to localedef Command |
|
Beginning in 11.0, localedef builds both 32-bit and 64-bit locale libraries on 64-bit
systems, and only 32-bit libraries on 32-bit systems. On Itanium-based
systems, both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries will be built. The libraries
are installed as described in “Directory Structure Changes”.
There are slight differences in method files due to the different
paths for methods on PA and IPF systems.
Method file format for PA systems:
# method file for univ.utf8 locale
METHODS
mblen "__mblen_utf8" "/usr/lib/nls/loc/methods.2" "utf8"
mbtowc "__mbtowc_utf8" "/usr/lib/nls/loc/methods.2" "utf8"

locale and localedef Compatibility |
|
The default behavior of the locale command on IPF systems lists IA locales instead
of PA locales. PA applications that list PA locales will see different
results on IPF and PA systems.
The localedef command will not be able to generate PA locales on an Itanium-based
system. If you need PA locales, build them on a PA system and move
them to the Itanium-based system.
