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.
- -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).
- ICU_DATA
- Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
${prefix}/share/icu/72.1/. 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.
