GENCCODE(8)                    ICU 67.1 Manual                   GENCCODE(8)

NAME top

       genccode  - generate C or platform specific assembly code from an ICU
       data file.

SYNOPSIS top

       genccode [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -a, --assembly name ] [ -d, --destdir
       destination ] [ -n, --name name ] [ -e, --entrypoint name ] [ -f,
       --filename name ] [ filename ...  ]

DESCRIPTION top

       genccode reads each of the supplied filename and writes out a C file
       containing a compilable definition of the data in the data file.  The
       C file name is made by taking the base name of the data filename,
       replacing dots by underscores, and adding a .c file extension.

       If the -a option is used, platform specific assembly code is
       generated instead of C code.  Most C compilers will accept both C and
       assembly files.  Instead of writing a filename with a .c file
       extension, a filename with a .s will be written instead.

       If genccode is called with no filename it terminates gracefully.

OPTIONS top

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

       -a, --assembly name
              Output assembly code instead of C code.  Use -h to see the
              list of available types of assembly to generate and to specify
              for this option.

       -d, --destdir destination
              Set the destination directory to destination.  The default
              destination directory is the current directory.

       -n, --name name
              Set the data name to name instead of the default. This name is
              also used as the base name of the output. The default name is
              made of the icudt prefix, followed by a two-digit version
              number corresponding to the current version of the ICU
              release, and a single letter indicating the endianness of the
              data (the letter b indicated big endian data, and the letter l
              indicates little endian ones).

       -f, --filename name
              Normally, an ICU data file such as mydata.icu will be turned
              into mydata_icu.c and mydata_icu.o.  However, if this
              parameter was set to "somedata", the output files will be
              somedata.o and somedata.c, respectively.

       -e, --entrypoint name
              Set the data entry point (used for linking against the data in
              a shared library form) to name.  The default entry point name
              is made of the data (set by the -n, --name option) followed by
              an underscore and the type of the data (set by the -t, --type
              option).
