GENCNVAL(1)                 ICU 76.0.1 Manual                 GENCNVAL(1)

NAME         top

       gencnval - compile the converters aliases file

SYNOPSIS         top

       gencnval [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright ]
       [ -s, --sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [
       converterfile ]

DESCRIPTION         top

       gencnval converts the ICU aliases file converterfile into the
       binary file cnvalias.icu.  This binary file can then be read
       directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(1) for incorporation into a
       larger archive or library.

       If converterfile is not provided, the default ICU convrtrs.txt
       file is used.

OPTIONS         top

       -h, -?, --help
              Print help about usage and exit.

       -v, --verbose
              Display verbose output. This information can include
              information about conflicting aliases and the converters
              the aliases resolve to.

       -c, --copyright
              Include a copyright notice in the binary data.

       -s, --sourcedir source
              Set the source directory to source.  The default source
              directory is specified by the environment variable
              ICU_DATA.

       -d, --destdir destination
              Set the destination directory to destination.  The default
              destination directory is specified by the environment
              variable ICU_DATA.

ENVIRONMENT         top

       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.

FILES         top

       icu/source/data/mappings/convrtrs.txt
              Description of ICU's converters and their aliases. This
              data file is not normally installed, and it is available as
              a part of ICU source code.
