GENCNVAL(1)                    ICU 50.1.2 Manual                   GENCNVAL(1)



NAME
       gencnval - compile the converters aliases file

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

DESCRIPTION
       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
       -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
       ICU_DATA  Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
                 ${prefix}/share/icu/50.1.2/.  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
       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.
