GENCFU(1)                      ICU 50.1.2 Manual                     GENCFU(1)



NAME
       gencfu - Generates Unicode Confusable data files

SYNOPSIS
       gencfu [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -V, --version ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -v,
       --verbose ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -i, --icudatadir directory
       ] -r, --rules rule-file -w, --wsrules whole-script-rule-file -o, --out
       output-file

DESCRIPTION
       gencfu reads confusable character definitions in the input file, which
       are plain text files containing confusable character definitions in the
       input format defined by Unicode UAX39 for the files confusables.txt and
       confusablesWholeScript.txt.  This source (.txt) format is also accepted
       by ICU spoof detectors.  The files must be encoded in utf-8 format,
       with or without a BOM.  Normally the output data file has the .cfu
       extension.

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

       -V, --version
              Print the version of gencfu and exit.

       -c, --copyright
              Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the output-file.

       -v, --verbose
              Display extra informative messages during execution.

       -d, --destdir destination
              Set the destination directory of the output-file to destination.

       -i, --icudatadir directory
              Look for any necessary ICU data files in directory.  For
              example, the file pnames.icu must be located when ICU's data is
              not built as a shared library.  The default ICU data directory
              is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.  Most
              configurations of ICU do not require this argument.

       -r, --rules rule-file
              The source file to read.

       -w, --wsrules whole-script-rule-file
              The whole script source file to read.

       -o, --out output-file
              The output data file to write.
