Provide a way to ask for an opaque version string for a locale_t, so that potential changes in sort order can be detected. Similar to ICU's ucol_getVersion() and Windows' GetNLSVersionEx(), this API is intended to allow databases to detect when text order-based indexes might need to be rebuilt. The CLDR version is extracted from CLDR source data by the Makefile under tools/tools/locale, written into the machine-generated Makefile under shared/colldef, passed to localedef -V, and then written into LC_COLLATE file headers. The initial version is 34.0. tools/tools/locale was recently updated to pull down 35.0, but the output hasn't been committed under share/colldef yet, so that will provide the first observable change when it happens. Other versioning schemes are possible in future, because the format is unspecified.

$FreeBSD$ This directory tree contains tools used for the maintenance and testing of FreeBSD. There is no toplevel Makefile structure since these tools are not meant to be built as part of the standard system, though there may be individual Makefiles in some of the subdirs.
