gensprep(8)                 ICU 76.0.1 Manual                gensprep(8)

NAME         top

       gensprep - compile StringPrep data from files filtered by
       filterRFC3454.pl

SYNOPSIS         top

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       gensprep reads filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their
       information into a binary form.  The resulting file, <name>.icu,
       can then be read directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(8) for
       incorporation into a larger archive or library.

       The files read by gensprep are described in the FILES section.

OPTIONS         top

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

       -v, --verbose
              Display extra informative messages during execution.

       -c, --copyright
              Include a copyright notice into 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         top

       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.

FILES         top

       The following files are read by gensprep and are looked for in
       the source /misc for rfc3454_*.txt files and in source /unidata
       for NormalizationCorrections.txt.

       rfc3453_A_1.txt
              Contains the list of unassigned codepoints in Unicode

              Contains the list of code points that are commonly mapped
              to nothing....

       rfc3454_B_2.txt
              Contains the list of mappings for casefolding of  code
              points when Normalization form NFKC is specified....

       rfc3454_C_X.txt
              Contains the list of code points that are prohibited for
              IDNA.
