Environment Variables

The following environment variables must be exported by Wasite-compliant terminal emulators (writes can be ignored to deny permissions without forfeiting compliance):

USER (Since v0.1.0)

The username of the current user.

HOSTNAME (Since v0.1.0)

The hostname of the host device.

NAME (Since v0.1.0)

The pretty name of the host device.

TZ (Since v0.1.0)

The IANA TZDB identifier for the timezone (ex: America/New_York)

LANGS (Since v1.0.0)

The display language using two letter language code (ISO 639-1) followed by a forward slash and a two letter region code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2). (ex: en/US)

Multiple languages/dialects can be specified in order of preference, separated by colons.

Key / value pairs can specify languages for specific contexts:

• Collation: Sorting
• CharClass: How characters should be classified
• Monetary: Kind of money
• Message: Messages
• Numeric: Thousands separator, number system
• Time: Displaying date and time

So, for a preference of American English, falling back to Mexican Spanish if not available, and a preference of pound sterlings for money:

Monetary=en/GB:en/US:es/MX
