NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       gencmn  [  -h,  -?,  --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright | -C,
10       --comment comment ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -n, --name name ] [
11       -t, --type fileext ] [ -S, --source ] [ -e, --entrypoint name ] maxsize
12       [ listfilename ]

DESCRIPTION

15       gencmn takes a set of files and packages them as an ICU memory-mappable
16       data file. The resulting data file can then be used directly by ICU.
17
18       gencmn  reads  a  list of files to be packaged from either the supplied
19       listfilename file, or from its standard output.  It  packages  all  the
20       files  from  the list that are not bigger than maxsize bytes, except if
21       maxsize is 0, which indicates that there is no size limit on files.
22

OPTIONS

24       -h, -?, --help
25              Print help about usage and exit.
26
27       -v, --verbose
28              Display extra informative messages during execution.
29
30       -c,--copyright
31              Include the ICU copyright notice in the resulting data.
32
33       -C, --comment comment
34              Include the specified comment in the resulting data  instead  of
35              the ICU copyright notice.
36
37       -d, --destdir destination
38              Set  the destination directory to destination.  The default des‐
39              tination directory is  specified  by  the  environment  variable
40              ICU_DATA.
41
42       -n, --name name
43              Set  the  data name to name instead of the default. This name is
44              also used as the base name of the output. The  default  name  is
45              made of the icudt prefix, followed by a two-digit version number
46              corresponding to the current version of the ICU release,  and  a
47              single  letter indicating the endianness of the data (the letter
48              b indicated big endian data, and the letter l  indicates  little
49              endian ones).
50
51       -t, --type type
52              Use  type as the type of the data. This type is also used as the
53              extension of the generated data file. The default type ie dat.
54
55       -S, --source
56              Write a C source file with the table of contents of the data.
57
58       -e, --entrypoint name
59              Set the data entry point (used for linking against the data in a
60              shared  library  form) to name.  The default entry point name is
61              made of the data (set by the -n, --name option) followed  by  an
62              underscore  and  the  type  of  the  data (set by the -t, --type
63              option).
64

ENVIRONMENT

66       ICU_DATA  Specifies the directory  containing  ICU  data.  Defaults  to
67                 /usr/share/icu/4.4.1/.  Some tools in ICU depend on the pres‐
68                 ence of the trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure
69                 that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.
