GENCNVAL(1)

NAME
gencnval - compile the converters aliases file

SYNOPSIS
gencnval [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -s, --sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ converterfile ]

DESCRIPTION
gencnval converts the ICU aliases file converterfile into the binary file cnvalias.dat. This binary file can then be read directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(1) for incorporation into a larger archive or library.

If converterfile is not provided, the default ICU convrtrs.txt file is used.

OPTIONS

-h, -?, --help
    Print help about usage and exit.

-c, --copyright
    Include a copyright notice in the binary data.

-s, --sourcedir source
    Set the source directory to source. The default source directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

-d, --destdir destination
    Set the destination directory to destination. The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

ENVIRONMENT

ICU_DATA
    Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to @thepkgicudatadir@/@PACKAGE@/@VERSION@/. 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.

FILES

@thesysconfdir@/@PACKAGE@/convrtrs.txt
    Description of ICU's converters and their aliases.
