gencnval(8)

gencnval8

Compile the converters aliases file

Usage

gencnval [-h, -?, --help] [-c, --copyright] [-s, --sourcedir source] [-d, --destdir destination] [converterfile]

Overview

gencnval converts the ICU aliases file converterfile into the binary file cnvalias.dat. This binary file can then be read directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(8) for incorporation into a larger archive or library.

If converterfile is not provided, the default ICU convrtrs.txt file is used.

Options

-h, -?, --help

Print help about usage and exit.

-c, --copyright

Include a copyright notice in the binary data.

-s, --sourcedir source

Set the source directory to source. The default source directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

-d, --destdir destination

Set the destination directory to destination. The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

Environment

ICU_DATA

Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to /usr/lib/icu/2.1/. Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.

Files
