.SH DESCRIPTION
.B gennames
reads the Unicode character database from
.I filename
and produce the file
.I unames.dat
in its destination directory.
Optionally, Unicode 1.0 names can be chosen over Unicode 2.0 names for
those code points whose names were changed for Unicode 2.0.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help"
Print help about usage and exit.
.TP
.BR "\-v\fP, \fB\-\-verbose"
Display extra informative messages during execution.
.TP
.BR "\-q\fP, \fB\-\-quiet"
Do not display any message during execution.
.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 "\-u\fP, \fB\-\-unicode" " version"
Mark the character names as belong to the specified
.I version
of Unicode. The default version is 3.1.1.
.TP
.BI "\-1\fP, \fB\-\-unicode1-names"
Store Unicode 1.0 names instead of Unicode 2.0 names for
those code points whose names were changed for Unicode 2.0.
.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.
.SH VERSION
@VERSION@
