gensprep(8) ICU 55.1 Manual gensprep(8)NAMEgensprep - compile StringPrep data from files filtered by filter‐
RFC3454.pl
SYNOPSISgensprep [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -s,
--sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ]
DESCRIPTIONgensprep 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/55.1/. 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
