Hey, Emacs! This is -*-nroff-*- you know... genbrk.1: manual page for the genbrk utility Copyright (C) 2005-2006 International Business Machines Corporation and others GENBRK 1 "2 December 2005" "ICU MANPAGE" "ICU @VERSION@ Manual"
NAME
genbrk - Compiles ICU break iteration rules source files into binary data files
SYNOPSIS
genbrk [
"-h,
-?,
--help" ]
[
"-V,
--version" ]
[
"-c,
--copyright" ]
[
"-v,
--verbose" ]
[
"-d,
--destdir" " destination" ]
[
"-i,
--icudatadir" " directory" ]
"-r,
--rules" " rule-file" "-o,
--out" " output-file" DESCRIPTION
genbrk reads the break (boundary) rule source code from
rule-file and creates a break iteration data file. Normally this data file has the
.brk extension.
The details of the rule syntax can be found in ICU's User Guide.
OPTIONS
"-h, -?, --help" Print help about usage and exit.
"-V, --version" Print the version of
genbrk 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.
"-o, --out" " output-file" The output data file to write.
CAVEATS
When the
rule-file contains a byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file, which is the Unicode character
U+FEFF, then the
rule-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
10
ICU_DATA Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
@thepkgicudatadir@/@PACKAGE@/@VERSION@/ . 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.
