blocaled - locale settings D-Bus service

SYNOPSIS
blocaled [--debug] [--foreground] [--read-only] [--config FILE]

DESCRIPTION

The blocaled daemon implements the standard localed (i.e. org.freedesktop.locale1) D-Bus interface as a stand-alone daemon. Users and administrators should not need to launch the blocaled executable manually. It will be launched automatically via D-Bus activation when needed.

--version
    Show version information.

--foreground
    Run in foreground mode (i.e. not daemonized). Messages will be logged to stderr instead of the system log.

--read-only
    Run daemon in read-only mode. It will read settings files, but will not modify them.

--config FILE
    Use an alternate configuration file (see CONFIGURATION below). The default configuration file is /etc/blocaled.conf.

CONFIGURATION
