NAME top

       icupkg - extract or modify an ICU .dat archive

SYNOPSIS top

       icupkg [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -tl, --type l | -tb, --type b | -te,
       --type e ] [ -c, --copyright | -C, --comment comment ] [ -a, --add
       list ] [ -r, --remove list ] [ -x, --extract list ] [ -l, --list ] [
       -s, --sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -w,
       --writepkg ] [ -m, --matchmode mode ] infilename [ outfilename ]

DESCRIPTION top

       icupkg reads the input ICU .dat package file, modify it according to
       the options, swap it to the desired platform properties (charset &
       endianness), and optionally write the resulting ICU .dat package to
       the output file.  Items are removed, then added, then extracted and
       listed.  An ICU .dat package is written if items are removed or
       added, or if the input and output filenames differ, or if the -w,
       --writepkg option is set.

       If the input filename is "new" then an empty package is created.  If
       the output filename is missing, then it is automatically generated
       from the input filename. If the input filename ends with an l, b, or
       e matching its platform properties, then the output filename will
       contain the letter from the -t, --type option.

       This tool can also be used to just swap a single ICU data file,
       replacing the former icuswap tool. For this mode, provide the
       infilename (and optional outfilename) for a non-package ICU data
       file.  Allowed options include -t, -w, -s and -d The filenames can be
       absolute, or relative to the source/dest dir paths.  Other options
       are not allowed in this mode.

OPTIONS top

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

       -tl, --type l
              Output for little-endian/ASCII charset family.  The output
              type defaults to the input type.

       -tb, --type b
              Output for big-endian/ASCII charset family.  The output type
              defaults to the input type.

       -te, --type e
              Output for big-endian/EBCDIC charset family.  The output type
              defaults to the input type.

       -c,--copyright
              Include the ICU copyright notice in the resulting data.

       -C, --comment comment
              Include the specified comment in the resulting data instead of
              the ICU copyright notice.

       -a, --add list
              Add items from the list to the package. The list can be a
              single filename with a .txt file extension containing a list
              of item filenames, or an ICU .dat package filename.

       -r, --remove list
              Remove items from the list from the package. The list can be a
              single filename with a .txt file extension containing a list
              of item filenames, or an ICU .dat package filename.

       -x, --extract list
              Extract items from the list from the package. The list can be
              a single filename with a .txt file extension containing a list
              of item filenames, or an ICU .dat package filename.

       -m, --matchmode mode
              Set the matching mode for item names with wildcards.

       -s, --sourcedir source
              Set the source directory to source.  The default source
              directory is the current directory.

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

       -l, --list
              List the package items to stdout (after modifying the
              package).

LIST FILE SYNTAX top

       Items are listed on one or more lines and separated by whitespace
       (space+tab).  Comments begin with # and are ignored. Empty lines are
       ignored. Lines where the first non-whitespace character is one of
       "%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?_ are also ignored to reserve for future syntax.

       Items for removal or extraction may contain a single * wildcard
       character. The * matches zero or more characters. If -m, --matchmode
       noslash is set, then the * character does not match the / character.

       Items must be listed relative to the package, and the --sourcedir or
       the --destdir path will be prepended. The paths are only prepended to
       item filenames while adding or extracting items, not to ICU .dat
       package or list filenames.

       Paths may contain / instead of the platform's file separator
       character and are converted as appropriate.
