MAKECONV(1) ICU 76.0.1 Manual MAKECONV(1)
makeconv - compile a converter table
makeconv [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -v, --verbose ]
[ -d, --destdir destination ] convertertable ...
makeconv converts the ICU converter table convertertable into a
binary file. The binary file has the same base name as
convertertable but has a .cnv extension (instead of the typical
.ucm extension of the convertertable file). This binary file can
then be read directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(1) for
incorporation into a larger archive or library.
The convertertable must be in the ICU ucm (Unicode Codepage
Mapping) format in order to be understood by makeconv. The ICU
ucm format is similar to the IBM NLTC upmap/tpmap/rpmap files.
Comments in the convertertable are handled as follows. If a
comment (starting with a `#' sign) that is after some text does
contain the fallback indicator `|' then only the text starting
with the `#' sign, and ending before the `|' sign, is ignored.
Otherwise, or if the comment is the first thing on the line, the
comment runs up to the end of the line. This special handling of
comments is to accommodate the practice of putting fallback
information in comments in the strict IBM NLTC ucmap format.
Note that new converters will be automatically found by ICU after
their installation in ICU's data directory. They do not need to
be listed in the convrtrs.txt(5) converters aliases file in order
to be available to applications using ICU. They do need to be
listed there if one wants to give them aliases, or tags, though.
-h, -?, --help
Print help about usage and exit.
-c, --copyright
Include a copyright notice in the binary data.
-v, --verbose
Display extra informative messages during execution.
-d, --destdir destination
Set the destination directory to destination. The default
destination directory is specified by the environment
variable ICU_DATA.
If an existing converter table is changed and recompiled using
makeconv, the resulting binary file must be packaged in the same
way that it was packaged initially. For example, if converters
were grouped together in an archive or a library with pkgdata(1),
then the archive or library must be rebuilt with the new binary
file. A standalone binary converter file will not take
precedence over a packaged one.
ICU_DATA
Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
${prefix}/share/icu/76.0.1/. 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.
