.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B genbidi
|
|
reads some of the Unicode Character Database files and compiles their
|
|
information information into a binary form.
|
|
The resulting file,
|
|
.BR ubidi.icu ,
|
|
can then be read directly by ICU, or used by
|
|
.BR pkgdata (8)
|
|
for incorporation into a larger archive or library.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The files read by
|
|
.B genbidi
|
|
are described in the
|
|
.B FILES
|
|
section. If
|
|
.I suffix
|
|
is passed on the command line, the names of these files will actually
|
|
be changed to include a dash followed by
|
|
.I suffix
|
|
in their basename. For example, the file
|
|
.B UnicodeData.txt
|
|
would be looked for under the name
|
|
.BR UnicodeData\-\fIsuffix\fP.txt .
|
|
