GENBRK(1) ICU 76.0.1 Manual GENBRK(1)
NAME
genbrk - Compiles ICU break iteration rules source files into
binary data files
SYNOPSIS
genbrk [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -V, --version ] [ -c, --copyright ] [
-v, --verbose ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -i, --icudatadir
directory ] -r, --rules rule-file -o, --out output-file
DESCRIPTION
genbrk reads the break (boundary) rule source code from rule-file
and creates a break iteration data file. Normally this data file
has the .brk extension.
The details of the rule syntax can be found in ICU's User Guide.
OPTIONS
-h, -?, --help
Print help about usage and exit.
-V, --version
Print the version of genbrk 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.
-r, --rules rule-file
The source file to read.
-o, --out output-file
The output data file to write.
CAVEATS
When the rule-file contains a byte order mark (BOM) at the
beginning of the file, which is the Unicode character U+FEFF,
then the rule-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/76.0.1/. 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.
