gensprep(8)			ICU 63.1 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/63.1/. 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.

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- code version 3.2.0.... rfc3454_B_1.txt Contains the list of code points that are commonly mapped to nothing.... rfc3454_B_2.txt Contains the list of mappings for casefolding of code points when Normalization form NFKC is speci- fied.... rfc3454_C_X.txt Contains the list of code points that are prohib- ited for IDNA.
