cp_dirs(4)
NAME
  cp_dirs - Database configuration file used by worldwide support software

SYNOPSIS
  /var/i18n/conf/cp_dirs

DESCRIPTION
  The cp_dirs configuration file determines the locations for the following
  set of database or data files:

    ·  The character attribute database for user-defined characters (see
       cedit(1) and cgen(1))

    ·  Font database files and preload font database files for user-defined
       characters

       Font database files are used by the On-Demand Loading (ODL) mechanism.
       Preload font database files are used with terminals that are designed
       specifically for multibyte characters. Refer to odl(5) for more
       information.

    ·  BDF and PCF format font files for user-defined characters

       These files are used for graphical user interface displays.

    ·  Input key sequence databases used by DECwindows and CDE input method
       servers and by terminals that are designed specifically for multibyte
       characters.

    ·  Collating value database used for sorting (see asort(1))

    ·  Phrase databases used with both the software and the hardware phrase
       input methods (see phrase(1) and sim(5)).

  In the cp_dirs file, lines beginning with the # character are treated as
  comments.  Each line that is not a comment constitutes an entry and adheres
  to the following format:

  service-name std-path sys-path usr-path

  In this format:

  service-name
      Can be one of the following values:

      bdf Specifies the BDF format font files for GUI interfaces.

      cdb Specifies the collating value database.

      iks Specifies the input key sequence databases.

      odl Specifies the ODL font databases.

      pcf Specifies PCF format font files for GUI interfaces.

      pre Specifies the raw font files used to preload multibyte terminals.

      sim Specifies the phrase input method database.

      udc Specifies the character attribute database.

  std-path
      Specifies the location of the database files for standard character
      sets.

      Specifies the location of the system-wide database files for user-
      defined characters.

  usr-path
      Specifies the location of private database files for user-defined
      characters.

  The std-path, sys-path, and usr-path values must be one of the following:

    ·  An absolute pathname (that begins with /)

    ·  A pathname relative to the home directory (that begins with ~/)

    ·  The hyphen (-) to indicate that the field does not apply to the
       service that the entry describes
