Hi,


Some locales use a comma instead of a dot as a decimal mark (ie.
separator between integer and fractional parts of a number).

When powertop is run with such a locale, numbers in the CSV output will
contain a comma; which breaks CSV parsing, because commas are also
separators for the CSV fields.


You can reproduce this with the following command (assuming French
locales are installed on your system):

# LANG=3Dfr_FR.UTF-8 powertop --time=3D1 --csv=3D/tmp/powertop.csv


Example of what one gets when running this command:

Usage,Device Name
 26,7%,CPU misc
 26,7%,DRAM
 26,7%,CPU core
 90,2 ops/s,GPU misc


Regards,
Valentin
