gensprep(8)                     ICU 4.8 Manual                     gensprep(8)




NAME

       gensprep  -  compile  StringPrep  data  from  files filtered by filter-
       RFC3454.pl


SYNOPSIS

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


DESCRIPTION

       gensprep  reads  filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their information
       into a binary form.  The resulting file, <name>.icu, can then  be  read
       directly  by ICU, or used by pkgdata(8) for incorporation into a larger
       archive or library.

       The files read by gensprep are described in the FILES section.


OPTIONS

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

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

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

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

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


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.


FILES

       The following files are read by gensprep and  are  looked  for  in  the
       source /misc for rfc3454_*.txt files and in source /unidata for Normal-
       izationCorrections.txt.

       rfc3453_A_1.txt     Contains the list of unassigned codepoints in  Uni-

       rfc3454_C_X.txt     Contains the list of code points that  are  prohib-
