gencnval - compile the converters aliases file

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

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.

-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.

ICU_DATA

Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to ${prefix}/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.

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.
