NAME

6       gensprep  -  compile  StringPrep  data  from  files filtered by filter‐
7       RFC3454.pl
8

SYNOPSIS

10       gensprep [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -s,
11       --sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       gensprep  reads  filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their information
15       into a binary form.  The resulting file, <name>.icu, can then  be  read
16       directly  by ICU, or used by pkgdata(8) for incorporation into a larger
17       archive or library.
18
19       The files read by gensprep are described in the FILES section.

OPTIONS

22       -h, -?, --help
23              Print help about usage and exit.
24
25       -v, --verbose
26              Display extra informative messages during execution.
27
28       -c, --copyright
29              Include a copyright notice into the binary data.
30
31       -s, --sourcedir source
32              Set the source directory to source.  The default  source  direc‐
33              tory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.
34
35       -d, --destdir destination
36              Set  the destination directory to destination.  The default des‐
37              tination directory is  specified  by  the  environment  variable
38              ICU_DATA.
39

ENVIRONMENT

41       ICU_DATA  Specifies  the  directory  containing  ICU  data. Defaults to
42                 /usr/share/icu/63.2/.  Some tools in ICU depend on the  pres‐
43                 ence of the trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure
44                 that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.
45
