GENCNVAL(1)			ICU 76.1 Manual			   GENCNVAL(1)

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/76.1/.  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.
