gencmn - generate an ICU memory-mappable data file
SYNOPSIS¶
gencmn [
-h, -?, --help ]
[ -v, --verbose ] [ -c,
--copyright | -C, --comment
comment ] [ -d, --destdir
destination ] [ -n, --name
name ] [ -t, --type
fileext ] [ -S, --source ]
[ -e, --entrypoint name ]
maxsize [
listfilename ]
DESCRIPTION¶
gencmn takes a set of files and packages them as an ICU memory-mappable
data file. The resulting data file can then be used directly by ICU.
gencmn reads a list of files to be packaged from either the supplied
listfilename file, or from its standard output. It packages all the
files from the list that are not bigger than
maxsize bytes, except if
maxsize is 0, which indicates that there is no size limit on files.
OPTIONS¶
- -h, -?, --help
- Print help about usage and exit.
- -v, --verbose
- Display extra informative messages during execution.
- -c,--copyright
- Include the ICU copyright notice in the resulting
data.
- -C, --comment
comment
- Include the specified comment in the resulting data
instead of the ICU copyright notice.
- -d, --destdir
destination
- Set the destination directory to destination. The
default destination directory is specified by the environment variable
ICU_DATA.
- -n, --name name
- Set the data name to name instead of the default.
This name is also used as the base name of the output. The default name is
made of the icudt prefix, followed by a two-digit version number
corresponding to the current version of the ICU release, and a single
letter indicating the endianness of the data (the letter b
indicated big endian data, and the letter l indicates little endian
ones).
- -t, --type type
- Use type as the type of the data. This type is also
used as the extension of the generated data file. The default type ie
dat.
- -S, --source
- Write a C source file with the table of contents of the
data.
- -e, --entrypoint
name
- Set the data entry point (used for linking against the data
in a shared library form) to name. The default entry point name is
made of the data (set by the -n, --name option)
followed by an underscore and the type of the data (set by the
-t, --type option).
ENVIRONMENT¶
- ICU_DATA
- Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
${prefix}/share/icu/4.8.1.1/. 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.
