NAME

       gencnval - compile the converters aliases file

SYNOPSIS

       gencnval [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -s, --sourcedir source
       ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ converterfile ]

DESCRIPTION

       gencnval converts the ICU aliases file converterfile into the  binary  file  cnvalias.icu.
       This binary file can then be read directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(1) for incorporation
       into a larger archive or library.

       If converterfile is not provided, the default ICU convrtrs.txt file is used.

OPTIONS

       -h, -?, --help
              Print help about usage and exit.

       -v, --verbose
              Display verbose output. This information can include information about  conflicting
              aliases and the converters the aliases resolve to.

       -c, --copyright
              Include a copyright notice in the binary data.

       -s, --sourcedir source
              Set  the  source directory to source.  The default source directory is specified by
              the environment variable ICU_DATA.

       -d, --destdir destination
              Set the destination directory to destination.  The default destination directory is
              specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

ENVIRONMENT

       ICU_DATA  Specifies     the     directory     containing    ICU    data.    Defaults    to
                 ${prefix}/share/icu/66.1/.  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

       icu/source/data/mappings/convrtrs.txt   Description of ICU's converters and their aliases.
                                               This  data  file is not normally installed, and it
                                               is available as a part of ICU source code.
