4.4. Environment variables are useful for localization and working with the different codepages:

CLIP_LANG

use for setting codepage of constant-string in sources during the compilation (if the command line switches -T and -S are not set and the file .clipcharset is not present). If this variable isn't set, the consindent value takes from LANG variable

CLIP_HOSTCS

is specifies an inner representation of the strings (default - value of CLIP_LANG in compilation time)

CLIP_CLIENTCS

is defines an output codepage for terminal (default - value of CLIP_LANG in compilation time). If in runtime it's don't match with CLIP_HOSTCS, then the output will be recoded

CLIP_LOCALE

main variable, which defines a charset, using by CLIP-program.If it isn't set, then CLIP_CLIENTCS, CLIP_CHARSET and CHARSET will be checked
