💖 cdist-type__locale — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to cdist-type__locale(7) ✨ this is the cdist manual page for the __locale type and we're gonna get you fluent, fr fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdist-type__locale — configure locales. that's the whole vibe. locales. iconic.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this cdist type lets you set up locales 💅 that's it, that's the job.

but wait — plot twist 🫣 — on systems that don't support locale setting, like alpine/musl libc, this type is literally a no-op. like it just... does nothing. shows up, says hi, leaves. main character energy of doing absolutely nothing and getting away with it 💀

🎀 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🎀

  • state — can be 'present' or 'absent', and it defaults to present. so if you don't say anything, it's assuming you want the locale to exist. slay 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

ok bestie here's how it looks in the wild:

# Add locale de_CH.UTF-8
__locale de_CH.UTF-8

# Same as above, but more explicit
__locale de_CH.UTF-8 --state present

# Remove colourful British English
__locale en_GB.UTF-8 --state absent

not me being dramatic about removing en_GB.UTF-8 😭 the original really said "colourful British English" and honestly? correct. anyway.
