|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B genrb
|
|
converts the resource
|
|
.I bundle
|
|
source files passed on the command line to their binary form.
|
|
The resulting files have a
|
|
.B .res
|
|
extension while resource bundle source files typically have a
|
|
.B .txt
|
|
extension.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For locale data to be useable by ICU, the
|
|
.I bundle
|
|
file name should be a locale identifier, e.g.
|
|
.B ja_JP.txt
|
|
for Japanese (Japan) data, or
|
|
.B root.txt
|
|
for the root bundle.
|
|
.PP
|
|
These binary files can then be read directly by ICU, or used by
|
|
.BR pkgdata (8)
|
|
for incorporation into a larger archive or library.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help"
|
|
Print help about usage and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR "\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version"
|
|
Print the version of
|
|
.B genrb
|
|
and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR "\-v\fP, \fB\-\-verbose"
|
|
Display extra informative messages during execution.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-e\fP, \fB\-\-encoding" " encoding"
|
|
Set the encoding used to read input files to
|
|
.IR encoding .
|
|
The default encoding is the invariant (subset of ASCII or EBCDIC)
|
|
codepage for the system (see section
|
|
.BR "INVARIANT CHARACTERS" ).
|
|
The encodings UTF-8, UTF-16BE, and UTF-16LE are automatically detected
|
|
if a byte order mark (BOM) is present.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-s\fP, \fB\-\-sourcedir" " source"
|
|
Set the source directory to
|
|
.IR source .
|
|
The default source directory is specified by the environment variable
|
|
.BR ICU_DATA
|
|
or is the location set when ICU was built if
|
|
.B ICU_DATA
|
|
is not set.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-d\fP, \fB\-\-destdir" " destination"
|
|
Set the destination directory to
|
|
.IR destination .
|
|
The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable
|
|
.BR ICU_DATA
|
|
or is the location set when ICU was built if
|
|
.B ICU_DATA
|
|
is not set.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-i\fP, \fB\-\-icudatadir" " directory"
|
|
Look for any necessary ICU data files in
|
|
.IR directory .
|
|
For example, when processing collation overrides, the file
|
|
.B ucadata.dat
|
|
must be located.
|
|
The default ICU data directory is specified by the environment variable
|
|
.BR ICU_DATA .
|
|
.SH INVARIANT CHARACTERS
|
|
The
|
|
.B invariant character set
|
|
consists of the following set of characters, expressed as a standard POSIX
|
|
regular expression:
|
|
.BR "[a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9]|_| |+|-|*|/" .
|
|
This is the set which is guaranteed to be available regardless of code page.
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
.B ICU_DATA
|
|
Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
|
|
.BR @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
|
|
.B ICU_DATA
|
|
is set.
