GENCMN(8)			 ICU 76.1 Manual		       GENCMN(8)

NAME
     gencmn - generate an ICU memory-mappable data file

SYNOPSIS
     gencmn  [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright | -C, --com-
     ment comment ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -n,  --name  name  ]  [  -t,
     --type fileext ] [ -S, --source ] [ -e, --entrypoint name ] maxsize [ list-
     filename ]

DESCRIPTION
     gencmn  takes  a  set  of files and packages them as an ICU memory-mappable
     data file. The resulting data file can then be used directly by ICU.

     gencmn reads a list of files to be packaged from either the supplied  list-
     filename  file, or from its standard output. It packages all the files from
     the list that are not bigger than maxsize bytes, except if  maxsize  is  0,
     which indicates that there is no size limit on files.

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

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

     -c,--copyright
	    Include the ICU copyright notice in the resulting data.

     -C, --comment comment
	    Include  the  specified comment in the resulting data instead of the
	    ICU copyright notice.

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

     -n, --name name
	    Set  the data name to name instead of the default. This name is also
	    used as the base name of the output. The default name is made of the
	    icudt prefix, followed by a two-digit version  number  corresponding
	    to the current version of the ICU release, and a single letter indi-
	    cating the endianness of the data (the letter b indicated big endian
	    data, and the letter l indicates little endian ones).

     -t, --type type
	    Use  type as the type of the data. This type is also used as the ex-
	    tension of the generated data file. The default type ie dat.

     -S, --source
	    Write a C source file with the table of contents of the data.

     -e, --entrypoint name
	    Set the data entry point (used for linking against	the  data  in  a
	    shared  library form) to name.  The default entry point name is made
	    of the data (set by the -n, --name option) followed by an underscore
	    and the type of the data (set by the -t, --type option).

ENVIRONMENT
     ICU_DATA  Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults  to  ${pre-
	       fix}/share/icu/76.1/.   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.

VERSION
     76.1
