gencnval(1)

NAME

       gencnval - compile the converters aliases file

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       gencnval converts the ICU aliases file converterfile  into  the  binary
       file  cnvalias.icu.  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.

       -v, --verbose
              Display verbose output. This information can include information
              about conflicting aliases and the converters the aliases resolve
              to.

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

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

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

ENVIRONMENT

       ICU_DATA  Specifies  the  directory  containing  ICU  data. Defaults to
                 /usr/lib/icu/3.4/.  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

       icu/source/data/mappings/convrtrs.txt   Description of ICU's converters
                                               and  their  aliases.  This data
                                               file is not normally installed,
                                               and  it  is available as a part
                                               of ICU source code.
