NAME¶
genctd - Compiles word list into ICU compact trie dictionary
SYNOPSIS¶
genctd [
-h, -?, --help ]
[ -V, --version ] [ -c,
--copyright ] [ -v,
--verbose ] [ -d,
--destdir destination ] [ -i,
--icudatadir directory ] -o,
--out output-file dictionary-file
DESCRIPTION¶
genctd reads the word list from
dictionary-file and creates a
compact trie dictionary file. Normally this data file has the
.ctd
extension.
Words begin at the beginning of a line and are terminated by the first
whitespace. Lines that begin with whitespace are ignored.
OPTIONS¶
- -h, -?, --help
- Print help about usage and exit.
- -V, --version
- Print the version of genctd and exit.
- -c, --copyright
- Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the
output-file.
- -v, --verbose
- Display extra informative messages during execution.
- -d, --destdir
destination
- Set the destination directory of the output-file to
destination.
- -i, --icudatadir
directory
- Look for any necessary ICU data files in directory.
For example, the file pnames.icu must be located when ICU's data is
not built as a shared library. The default ICU data directory is specified
by the environment variable ICU_DATA. Most configurations of ICU do
not require this argument.
- dictionary-file
- The source file to read.
- -o, --out
output-file
- The output data file to write.
CAVEATS¶
When the
dictionary-file contains a byte order mark (BOM) at the
beginning of the file, which is the Unicode character
U+FEFF, then the
dictionary-file is interpreted as Unicode. Without the BOM, the file is
interpreted in the current operating system default codepage. In order to
eliminate any ambiguity of the encoding for how the
rule-file was
written, it is recommended that you write this file in UTF-8 with the BOM.
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.
