NAME

6       genbrk  -  Compiles  ICU break iteration rules source files into binary
7       data files
8

SYNOPSIS

10       genbrk [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -V, --version ] [ -c, --copyright ]  [  -v,
11       --verbose  ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -i, --icudatadir directory
12       ] -r, --rules rule-file -o, --out output-file
13

DESCRIPTION

15       genbrk reads the break (boundary) rule source code from  rule-file  and
16       creates  a  break  iteration data file. Normally this data file has the
17       .brk extension.
18
19       The details of the rule syntax can be found in ICU's User Guide.

OPTIONS

22       -h, -?, --help
23              Print help about usage and exit.
24
25       -V, --version
26              Print the version of genbrk and exit.
27
28       -c, --copyright
29              Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the output-file.
30
31       -v, --verbose
32              Display extra informative messages during execution.
33
34       -d, --destdir destination
35              Set the destination directory of the output-file to destination.
36
37       -i, --icudatadir directory
38              Look for any necessary ICU data files in directory.   For  exam‐
39              ple,  the file pnames.icu must be located when ICU's data is not
40              built as a shared library.  The default ICU  data  directory  is
41              specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.  Most configura‐
42              tions of ICU do not require this argument.
43
44       -r, --rules rule-file
45              The source file to read.
46
47       -o, --out output-file
48              The output data file to write.

CAVEATS

51       When the rule-file contains a byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning of
52       the  file, which is the Unicode character U+FEFF, then the rule-file is
53       interpreted as Unicode. Without the BOM, the file is interpreted in the
54       current  operating  system default codepage.  In order to eliminate any
55       ambiguity of the encoding for how the rule-file was written, it is rec‐
56       ommended that you write this file in UTF-8 with the BOM.
57

ENVIRONMENT

59       ICU_DATA  Specifies  the  directory  containing  ICU  data. Defaults to
60                 /usr/share/icu/63.2/.  Some tools in ICU depend on the  pres‐
61                 ence of the trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure
62                 that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.
