NAME
gencnval - compile the converters aliases file
SYNOPSIS
gencnval [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -s,
--sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ converterfile ]
DESCRIPTION
gencnval converts the ICU aliases file converterfile into the binary
file cnvalias.icu. This binary file can then be read directly by ICU,
or used by pkgdata(1) 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.
-v, --verbose
Display verbose output. This information can include information
about conflicting aliases and the converters the aliases resolve
to.
-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
${prefix}/share/icu/4.2.1/. 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
icu/source/data/mappings/convrtrs.txt Description of ICU’s converters
and their aliases. This data
file is not normally installed,
and it is available as a part
of ICU source code.
