GENCMN(8) ICU 70.1 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 re-
sulting 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 ${pre-
fix}/share/icu/70.1/. 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.
