GENCCODE(8) ICU 76.0.1 Manual GENCCODE(8)
NAME
genccode - generate C or platform specific assembly code from an
ICU data file.
SYNOPSIS
genccode [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -a, --assembly name ] [ -d,
--destdir destination ] [ -n, --name name ] [ -e, --entrypoint
name ] [ -f, --filename name ] [ filename ... ]
DESCRIPTION
genccode reads each of the supplied filename and writes out a C
file containing a compilable definition of the data in the data
file. The C file name is made by taking the base name of the
data filename, replacing dots by underscores, and adding a .c
file extension.
If the -a option is used, platform specific assembly code is
generated instead of C code. Most C compilers will accept both C
and assembly files. Instead of writing a filename with a .c file
extension, a filename with a .s will be written instead.
If genccode is called with no filename it terminates gracefully.
OPTIONS
-h, -?, --help
Print help about usage and exit.
-a, --assembly name
Output assembly code instead of C code. Use -h to see the
list of available types of assembly to generate and to
specify for this option.
-d, --destdir destination
Set the destination directory to destination. The default
destination directory is the current directory.
-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).
-f, --filename name
Normally, an ICU data file such as mydata.icu will be
turned into mydata_icu.c and mydata_icu.o. However, if
this parameter was set to "somedata", the output files
will be somedata.o and somedata.c, respectively.
-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).
