GENBRK(1)                      ICU 67.1 Manual                     GENBRK(1)

NAME top

       genbrk  - Compiles ICU break iteration rules source files into binary
       data files

SYNOPSIS top

       genbrk [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -V, --version ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -v,
       --verbose ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -i, --icudatadir
       directory ] -r, --rules rule-file -o, --out output-file

DESCRIPTION top

       genbrk reads the break (boundary) rule source code from rule-file and
       creates a break iteration data file. Normally this data file has the
       .brk extension.

       The details of the rule syntax can be found in ICU's User Guide.

OPTIONS top

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

       -V, --version
              Print the version of genbrk and exit.

       -c, --copyright
              Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the output-file.

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

       -d, --destdir destination
              Set the destination directory of the output-file to
              destination.

       -i, --icudatadir directory
              Look for any necessary ICU data files in directory.  For
              example, the file pnames.icu must be located when ICU's data
              is not built as a shared library.  The default ICU data
              directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.
              Most configurations of ICU do not require this argument.

       -r, --rules rule-file
              The source file to read.

       -o, --out output-file
              The output data file to write.

CAVEATS top

       When the rule-file contains a byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning
       of the file, which is the Unicode character U+FEFF, then the rule-
       file is interpreted as Unicode. Without the BOM, the file is
       interpreted in the current operating system default codepage.  In
       order to eliminate any ambiguity of the encoding for how the rule-
       file was written, it is recommended that you write this file in UTF-8
       with the BOM.

ENVIRONMENT top

       ICU_DATA  Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
                 ${prefix}/share/icu/67.1/.  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.
