genctd(1) ICU 4.8 Manual genctd(1)
NAME
genctd - Compiles word list into ICU compact trie dictionary
SYNOPSIS
genctd [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -V, --version ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -v,
--verbose ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -i, --icudatadir directory
] -o, --out output-file dictionary-file
DESCRIPTION
genctd reads the word list from dictionary-file and creates a compact
trie dictionary file. Normally this data file has the .ctd extension.
Words begin at the beginning of a line and are terminated by the first
whitespace. Lines that begin with whitespace are ignored.
OPTIONS
-h, -?, --help
Print help about usage and exit.
-V, --version
Print the version of genctd 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 exam-
ple, 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 configura-
tions of ICU do not require this argument.
dictionary-file
The source file to read.
-o, --out output-file
The output data file to write.
CAVEATS
When the dictionary-file contains a byte order mark (BOM) at the begin-
ning of the file, which is the Unicode character U+FEFF, then the dic-
tionary-file is interpreted as Unicode. Without the BOM, the file is
interpreted in the current operating system default codepage. In order
to eliminate any ambiguity of the encoding for how the rule-file was
written, it is recommended that you write this file in UTF-8 with the
BOM.
ENVIRONMENT
ICU_DATA Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
${prefix}/share/icu/4.8/. 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.
