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 /usr/share/icu/50.1.2/.  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.
