NAME
     genrb - compile a resource bundle

SYNOPSIS
     genrb [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -V, --version ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -e, --encod-
     ing encoding ] [ -j, --write-java [ encoding ] ] [ -s, --sourcedir source ]
     [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -i, --icudatadir directory ] bundle ...

DESCRIPTION
     genrb  converts the resource bundle source files passed on the command line
     to their binary form or to a Java source file for use with ICU4J.	The  re-
     sulting  binary  files  have  a .res extension while resource bundle source
     files typically have a .txt extension. Java source files have a java exten-
     sion and follow the ICU4J naming conventions.

     It is customary to name the resource bundles by their locale name, i.e.  to
     use  a local identifier for the bundle filename, e.g.  ja_JP.txt for Japan-
     ese (Japan) data, or root.txt for the root bundle.  In any case, genrb will
     produce a file whose base name is the name of the locale found in	the  re-
     source file, not the base name of the resource file itself.

     The binary files can be read directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(1) for in-
     corporation into a larger archive or library.

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

     -V, --version
	    Print the version of genrb and exit.

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

     -e, --encoding encoding
	    Set  the encoding used to read input files to encoding.  The default
	    encoding is the invariant (subset of ASCII or EBCDIC)  codepage  for
	    the system (see section INVARIANT CHARACTERS).  The encodings UTF-8,
	    UTF-16BE,  and  UTF-16LE  are automatically detected if a byte order
	    mark (BOM) is present.

     -j, --write-java [ encoding ]
	    Generate a Java source code for use with ICU4J. An optional encoding
	    for the Java file can be given.

     -s, --sourcedir source
	    Set the source directory to source.  The default source directory is
	    specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA, or the location  set
	    when ICU was built if ICU_DATA is not set.

     -d, --destdir destination
	    Set  the destination directory to destination.  The default destina-
	    tion directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA  or
	    is the location set when ICU was built if ICU_DATA is not set.

     -i, --icudatadir directory
	    Look  for  any  necessary ICU data files in directory.  For example,
	    when processing collation overrides, the file  ucadata.dat	must  be
	    located.   The  default ICU data directory is specified by the envi-
	    ronment variable ICU_DATA.

INVARIANT CHARACTERS
     The invariant character set consists of the following  set  of  characters,
     expressed	as  a  standard  POSIX	regular expression: [a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9]|_|
     |+|-|*|/.	This is the set which is guaranteed to be  available  regardless
     of code page.

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
