.SH NAME
.B decmn
\- explodes an ICU memory-mappable data file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B decmn
.I commonfile
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B decmn
reads the ICU memory-mappable data file
.I commonfile
and writes each of the
packaged files that it contains as a separate file in the current
directory.
.PP
.B decmn
also writes a list of these files on its standard output. This list of
files can later be used, along with the individual files that have
been generated, to produce a new common data file using
.BR gencmn (8).
Note that the output of
.B decmn
is not in the format expected by
.BR gencmn (8).
One can obtain a suitable file by filtering the output through
.B "sed -e '1,2d' -e 's/[^=]*=//' -e '/^endfiles$/d"
which transforms it into a simple list of filenames.
