NAME
genxlt - generate iconv translation tables SYNOPSIS
[output_filename] [input_filename] DESCRIPTION
generates a compiled, non-readable binary version of the iconv table that is suitable for use by iconv(1) and iconv(3C). If input_filename or output_filename is not supplied, standard input and/or standard output will be used. Since the output of is a binary, non-readable file, if the option is not used, the redirection symbol maybe used to redirect the standard output to a file. Options recognizes the following options: If this option is not selected, the data will be sent to standard output, from where it could be redirected to a file. creates tables that are in a prescribed format and which can be interpreted by the default conversion routines of iconv(3C). The input file has two columns, giving the filecode mapping between the two code sets. The entries are in hexadecimal. The input file must be formatted as two columns of hexadecimal digits. Characters in the first column are translated into the characters in the second column. Lines preceded with in the first column are ignored as comments on all lines except in the case of the following keywords: #Galley: and #What: In addition to the data, which defines the filecode mapping, a Galley character (see iconv(3C)) may also be defined for that particular conversion. This is done by adding the line to the beginning of the input file. The is any multi-byte character (see A What string (see what(1)), may also be defined in the input file using the entry This string may contain information like version number, type of conver- sion, etc., which are not used in any way for the conversions. Note that if the What string is defined, it should appear before the Galley definition. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables provides a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. If is unset or null, the default value of "C" (see lang(5)) is used. If any of the internationalization variables contains an invalid setting, will behave as if all internationalization variables are set to "C" (see environ(5)). If is set to a non-empty string value, it overrides the values of all the other internationalization variables. determines the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error and informa- tive messages written to standard output. determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of International Code Set Support Single and multi-byte character code sets are supported. RETURN VALUE
The exit values are: Successful completion. Error condition occurred. EXAMPLES
This example compiles the iconv_input and puts the output binary in The following iconv statement uses the roma8=iso81 table to convert the data_file from code set to code set This is an example of the input_file: WARNINGS
Because will write over the existing table, it is wise to save the existing table into another file before using Warnings are not given for incorrect data in the input_file. You must have super-user privileges to install files in FILES
All tables must be installed in this directory. SEE ALSO
