GENCMN(8) ICU 76.0.1 Manual GENCMN(8)
NAME
gencmn - generate an ICU memory-mappable data file
SYNOPSIS
gencmn [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright |
-C, --comment comment ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -n,
--name name ] [ -t, --type fileext ] [ -S, --source ] [ -e,
--entrypoint name ] maxsize [ listfilename ]
DESCRIPTION
gencmn takes a set of files and packages them as an ICU memory-
mappable data file. The resulting data file can then be used
directly by ICU.
gencmn reads a list of files to be packaged from either the
supplied listfilename file, or from its standard output. It
packages all the files from the list that are not bigger than
maxsize bytes, except if maxsize is 0, which indicates that there
is no size limit on files.
OPTIONS
-h, -?, --help
Print help about usage and exit.
-v, --verbose
Display extra informative messages during execution.
-c,--copyright
Include the ICU copyright notice in the resulting data.
-C, --comment comment
Include the specified comment in the resulting data
instead of the ICU copyright notice.
-d, --destdir destination
Set the destination directory to destination. The default
destination directory is specified by the environment
variable ICU_DATA.
-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).
-t, --type type
Use type as the type of the data. This type is also used
as the extension of the generated data file. The default
type ie dat.
-S, --source
Write a C source file with the table of contents of the
data.
-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).
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.
